Shanghai Tower, Tallest Building in China Tops Out

Topping out ceremonies were held today to mark the completion of the core structure of the Shanghai Tower. The last beam was placed atop the 632-meter (2,073-foot) building designed by global design and architecture firm Gensler. Shanghai Tower is a beacon of sustainable design strategies, anchoring the city’s Lujiazui commercial district with prominent public spaces in a series of nine vertical communities. “Shanghai Tower represents a new way of defining and creating cities,” said Art Gensler, FAIA, Founder of Gensler.
