CTF Finance Centre, Postmodern skyscraper in Zhujiang New Town, China
The Chow Tai Fook Center rises 530 meters into the Guangzhou skyline with 111 floors above ground and 4 basement levels, featuring glass facades and vertical terracotta elements.
Construction of this major building project started in July 2010 following a groundbreaking ceremony, experienced a brief pause, and reached completion in October 2016.
The building houses the K11 Art Mall across eight floors of its podium section, incorporating retail spaces, entertainment venues, and a 4DX cinema for visitors.
The structure contains 86 elevators moving at speeds of up to 21 meters per second, connecting office spaces, residential units, and the Rosewood Hotel on upper levels.
Engineers designed the building with a square core and mega columns incorporating outriggers and belt trusses to maintain stability in this seismic region.

This collection brings together skyscrapers that showcase advances in modern engineering and architecture worldwide. These structures rise above metropolises and reshape city horizons, from the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab in Dubai to the CCTV headquarters in Beijing with its two linked towers. Each building reflects a unique architectural approach and technical innovations tailored to its environment. The selection spans all continents and features buildings with various functions. The Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, 452 meters high and connected by a sky bridge, stand alongside New York’s One World Trade Center, which reaches 541 meters.
