Guangfa Securities Headquarters, Office skyscraper in Zhujiang New Town, Guangzhou, China
Description
Guangfa Securities Headquarters is a 308-meter office tower in Zhujiang New Town featuring 62 floors above ground and 5 below, built with a reinforced concrete core and steel tube columns. The structure includes distinct rental and corporate office areas separated by an internal sky lobby.
History
The company behind this tower grew from a small banking department in 1991 into a major financial institution, establishing this headquarters as its base in the emerging finance district. The building's construction marked a turning point in Guangzhou's rise as a financial power.
Culture
The tower symbolizes Guangzhou's emergence as a major financial hub in Asia, reflecting how the city has reshaped itself into a modern international business center. Its design shows the connection between local trading customs and contemporary global practices.
Practical
The building uses separate elevator systems that access a sky lobby on the 30th floor, dividing the different office zones efficiently. The tapered design leaves most of the ground level open, creating a public plaza where visitors can walk around the base of the structure.
Did you know?
The structure covers just 30 percent of its site, intentionally leaving most of the ground level open as a public space in the busy financial district. This unusual approach creates a breathing room that most passersby barely notice but which changes how the area feels compared to surrounding buildings.
