When will the World Financial Center in Shanghai be completed?

The developers of Shanghai World Financial Center, Japan Sen Mansion Co., Ltd. and Shanghai World Financial Center Co., Ltd. announced yesterday that they have decided to name the Shanghai World Financial Center, a super-high-rise complex with10/floor currently under construction, "ShanghaiHills" (Chinese translation: "Shanghai Shi Xiu"). As a new symbol of Shanghai's future international metropolis, "Shanghai Shi Xiu World Financial Center" is expected to be capped in September 2007 and completed before the Beijing Olympic Games in spring 2008.

It is reported that the project of Shanghai Shi Xiu World Financial Center is progressing smoothly, with a height of over 300 meters (70 floors). In addition, Sen Mansion Co., Ltd. has put forward some suggestions and concrete ideas for the overall development of the surrounding areas of Shi Xiu. This plan will be gradually implemented by Shanghai Lujiazui (Group) Co., Ltd.

Since the completion of 1986 ark Hills, Sen Building Company has successively built large-scale comprehensive development projects such as Aidang Green Mountain (200 1 completed), Roppongi New Town (completed in 2003) and Sametime Hills (completed in 2006). These large-scale comprehensive development projects are all named "hills".

Sen Building Co., Ltd. has newly established "China Business Headquarters" in June this year 165438+ 10/,which is under the unified jurisdiction of the company's China business. At the same time, "Shanghai Shi Xiu Sightseeing Conference Co., Ltd." and "Shanghai Shi Xiu Hotel Management Co., Ltd." (both legal entities wholly owned by Sen Building Co., Ltd. in China) have also been formally established, and they are responsible for the sightseeing facilities and hotel operation of Shanghai Shi Xiu World Financial Center. Sen Building hopes to strengthen the business of Sen Building Group in China and further accelerate the "Shanghai Shi Xiu" project through the above measures.

Shanghai World Financial Center is located in plot Z4- 1 in Lujiazui Financial and Trade Zone, Pudong. Upon completion, it will become the tallest building in the world, adjacent to Jinmao Tower, the third tallest building in the world, with a total construction area of 38 1600 square meters, with10/floor above ground and 3 floors underground, with a total construction height of 493 meters. Among them, Sen Construction Co., Ltd. holds 65% of the shares in the project, and more than 30 enterprises hold 35%, including some European and American enterprises.

Shanghai World Financial Center signed the land contract as early as1September 1994, and started the pile foundation project in1September 19971October. After that, it stopped working for four or five years, and fully resumed work in June165438+1October 2005.

Shanghai World Financial Center, the tallest building in China, released the progress report of the project. The total height of the building is designed to be 492m (the adjacent Shanghai Jinmao Building is 420.5m high, with 88 floors), including 10 1 floor above ground and 3 floors underground, with a total construction area of 380,000 square meters, which will be completed in early 2008. At present, the project has been completed with eight floors, and the total investment has increased by nearly 50% compared with the initial project 1994, reaching 105 billion yen.

"World Financial Center" was jointly funded by 40 institutions including Mori Mansion Co., Ltd. in Japan. As early as1September 1994, the land contract was signed, and the pile foundation project started in1June 1997. After that, it stopped working for four or five years. At the beginning of 2002, the news of returning to work came out and the planning and design were readjusted. According to Sen Haosheng, chairman of Shanghai "Global Financial Center" Co., Ltd., half of the total investment comes from investment institutions in Asian countries such as North America and Japan, and the other half comes from loans from foreign banks.

The "Global Financial Center", which has been planned for 10 years, is located in the core of Shanghai Lujiazui Financial and Trade Zone. According to Cohen, the designer of KPF design office in the United States, the building will have a sightseeing hall, a sightseeing bridge and a sightseeing pavilion on the 94th floor to100th floor, which will become the highest sightseeing facility in the world. Mori Minoru, president of Mori Building Co., Ltd., said that the building has negotiated with several large enterprises to settle in. Investors are also optimistic about the business demand brought by the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and the 20 10 Shanghai World Expo.

In order to ensure the smooth completion of such a large-scale comprehensive commercial property, the investors chose China State Construction Engineering Corporation and Shanghai Construction Engineering Group to jointly undertake the project.

In less than three years, there will be a higher place to see the beautiful scenery on both sides of Pujiang.

Amid cheers, the core tube 13 steel column of the main building of Shanghai World Financial Center, located in Lujiazui Financial and Trade Zone, Pudong, began to be hoisted, which marked the comprehensive start of the project. The main building of the completed Shanghai World Financial Center is 492 meters high, and its 472-meter sightseeing place is about 132 meters higher than the 88th floor sightseeing hall of Jinmao Tower. According to the overall construction schedule, the project will be capped in 2007 and completed in 2008.

In fact, as early as 1997 and 10, the pile foundation project of the World Financial Center has already started, and it has experienced some twists and turns since then. It was not until yesterday that the building was officially announced to be fully started.

The financial center has launched a brand-new planning scheme before. The main body of the whole building is an office building with 7 to 77 floors, with an area of nearly 3,300 square meters. Other spaces include four-story commercial facilities, multi-functional conference halls, hotels and sightseeing facilities. Among them, the 55-meter-long sightseeing pavilion built at a height of 472 meters will surpass the Canadian CN TV Tower (447 meters) and become the tallest sightseeing hall in the world. It is worth mentioning that the originally planned circular wind tunnel on the roof was adjusted to an inverted trapezoid. Yoshimura, general manager of Shanghai World Financial Center Co., Ltd. said that the modification reduced the construction difficulty and project cost, shortened the construction period and made the appearance more concise.

Shanghai World Financial Center Building started in an all-round way.

Sun Wenjie, general manager of China Construction Corporation, told reporters that Shanghai World Financial Center will be the first in the world in terms of "the height of the roof" and "the height that people can reach", and the sightseeing pavilions and halls with the panoramic view of Shanghai as the background will become new tourist attractions in the world.

Shanghai World Financial Center is a project invested and built by Japan Mori Building Co., Ltd. and more than 40 enterprises including Japan and the United States. The project covers an area of 30,000 square meters, with a total construction area of 38 1600 square meters, adjacent to Jinmao Building. The project has 10 1 floor above ground and 3 floors underground. The main building is 492 meters high, which is 72 meters higher than Jinmao Tower, the tallest building in China.

The general contractors of Shanghai World Financial Center Project are China Construction Corporation and Shanghai Construction Engineering Group, the two largest construction enterprises in China. Both companies have a long history of building super-high-rise skyscrapers. Shanghai Jinmao Tower and Oriental Pearl TV Tower, once the tallest buildings in China, were both built by Shanghai Construction Engineering Group. Sun Wenjie, general manager of China Construction Corporation and chairman of the management committee of the general contracting consortium, expressed "full confidence in the construction of Shanghai World Financial Center". It is reported that the engineering consortium entered the site in June165438+1October last year. This super-high-rise building with steel structure is not only difficult to construct, but also has great pressure on construction period and cost. The participation of more than 100 domestic and foreign subcontractors and suppliers also brings challenges to project management.

There is an inverted trapezoidal vent between the 94th floor of the top floor and the 100 floor. According to Jiang Zhiquan, Chairman of Shanghai Construction Engineering Group, a 55-meter-long sightseeing pavilion was designed on the 100 floor, 472 meters above the ground, and its height will exceed the Canadian CN TV Tower, the world's highest sightseeing hall, 447 meters.

The biggest challenge: height

Order two giant cranes with a height of 500 meters.

For architecture, the main challenge still comes from height. It is reported that in order to ensure the construction, the World Financial Center specially ordered two M900D tower cranes with giant booms up to 500 meters, which is also the largest tower crane in the field of housing construction in China.

The total amount of steel used is 62,000 tons.

The total steel consumption of World Financial Center is 62,000 tons, which is the largest steel consumption project in domestic civil single buildings.
