"Shanghai Tower is located in the Luijiazui Finance and Trade Zone, an area of Shanghai that was farmland eighteen years ago. The district is poised to become China's first super-tall district, as Shanghai Tower rises to complete a trio of towers including the adjacent Jin Mao Tower and Shanghai World Financial Center. Together, these three will form a new icon on Shanghai's skyline. While the design of the Jin Mao Tower pays homage to China's past, and the SWFC's design signifies China's recent economic growth, Shanghai Tower's design is a beacon of China's future."
nb: slated for completion in 2014.
