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 building blends Western architectural influences with local construction practices, shaping Ürümqi's skyline as a symbol of the city's modern growth. It represents the economic ties between China and international financial standards.
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 building takes architectural inspiration from One Liberty Place in Philadelphia, bringing classic American design to Central Asia. This design choice makes it a striking example of how global architectural styles merge in the city's landscape.
