King Tower, Skyscraper in Pudong District, Shanghai, China.
King Tower (新金桥大厦) is a 212 m skyscraper of 38 floors in the Jinqiao Export Processing Zone of Pudong, Shanghai. Construction began in April 1993 and the tower was completed in October 1996.
The building was completed in 1996 and briefly held the title of China's tallest structure before being surpassed later that year. This rapid change reflects Shanghai's intense construction boom during that period.
The tower is known locally as Xinjinqiao Mansion and represents Shanghai's rapid transformation during the economic boom of the 1990s. It shaped how the financial district looked and became a symbol of the city's modernization.
The building is a commercial complex in the financial district with limited public access since it mainly serves office users. Visitors should expect that access to certain areas may be restricted.
King Tower rises 212 m with 38 floors, and construction ran from April 1993 to October 1996. It was the tallest building in mainland China when finished, until Shun Hing Square in Shenzhen overtook it later that same year.
