Zhong Tian Plaza, Commercial skyscraper in Ürümqi, China.
Zhong Tian Plaza is an office and commercial complex in northwestern China's Ürümqi, standing with 59 floors above ground and 3 below. The glass and steel structure rises to approximately 229 meters and houses office space and retail areas.
The project began in 2001 as the headquarters of CITIC Bank and was completed in 2008, coinciding with a period of rapid economic transformation in Xinjiang. Its completion marked a time when the region was emerging as an important financial center.
The tower's name changed from Zhong Tian Plaza to China CITIC Bank Mansion, tying the building's identity to the bank that occupies it. Its profile copies One Liberty Place in Philadelphia, a design decision visible to anyone comparing the two skylines.
The building is located on North Xinhua Road and is served by 24 elevators providing quick access to various floors. Visitors should note that access and opening hours depend on the current operators and tenants.
The tower's profile was compared to One Liberty Place in Philadelphia, a 1987 skyscraper by Helmut Jahn. The resemblance is the detail most often noted about the building, whose official name changed to China CITIC Bank Mansion while the old name Zhong Tian Plaza is still used.
