Wuhan Greenland Center

Wuhan, China

The 13th tallest building in the world

475.6 m · 1,560 ft

Wuhan Greenland Center is a 476-metre (1,562 ft) supertall Skyscraper in Wuhan, China. It is the ninth-tallest building in China and the fourteenth-tallest building in the world. The tower was originally planned to be 636 metres (2,087 ft), but was redesigned mid-construction due to airspace regulations so its height does not exceed 502 metres (1,650 ft) above ground level. The building was designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture in conjunction with Thornton Tomasetti Engineers won the design competition to build the tower for Greenland Group, a real estate developer owned by the Shanghai city government. Construction started in 2012 and had been put on-hold numerous times following the redesign in mid-2017 ranging from financial problems, to the COVID-19 pandemic. The building was structurally topped-out in 28 January 2019 and completed in 2022. The Wuhan Greenland Center is Central China's tallest building with a cost of US$4.5 billion, mostly due to the number of times it had been put on-hold.
