[MandarinManMark]

woah! I always love seeing the new futuristic mega-projects from China.... it's going to be an amazing in a few decades, not that it's not already an amazing place for seeing skyscrapers and density.... wow, so many cool buildings in this plan, hope they build them all.... by the way, does anyone know what's in the rings around that one building complex with the ring connecting the bunch of buildings? It would be awesome if it had some kind of tram system in it....

[Victoria]

[londonindiboy]

[deli]

anybody know if there's a plan to build metro system in hangzhou?

[ncon]

i always amaze by China development always great projects always!

[ncon]

this is Hangzhou or Qianjiang ??

when all this will be finish??

[deli]

^ i think qiajiang represent hangzhou, thus hangzhou CBD is named after qianjiang.

completion date are mentioned for some buildings but not for the whole CBD. Since all the buildings here are UC or already completed, then most of them can be done before 2008.

[RFonline]

no words.......... :eek2: :eek2: :eek2:

[Khanabadosh]

Incredible. China is developing at supersonic speed.

[malec]

Very impressive. The scrapers look really good. Is this all getting built in one go or what?

[Þróndeimr]

This project is absolutely amazing!

Btw, some more info about the first building you saw in the thread.

Zhe Jiang Fortune Finance Center
Hangzhou - China

Status: Proposal
Architect: John Portman & Associates (http://www.portmanusa.com/)

The Zhe Jiang Fortune Finance Center site is ideally located in the Hangzhou Qian Jiang New City. In response to the master plan, two office towers were created, a 722 foot (220 meter) main tower and a 328 foot (100 meter) secondary tower, one flowing into the other. The towers are set into a plaza of bustling retail space, contrasted with tranquil water features.

As they reach for the sky, the towers present breathtaking panoramic city and river views. The opening between the towers creates a visual gateway to the green promenade in the center of the new business district, while the manner in which the shorter tower stretches up towards its towering twin maintains the strong connection and relationship between the two buildings.

[dubaiflo]

[Þróndeimr]

impressive project.

is this approved? completion date?

Many buildings is already completed, while others is under construction, approved or still a proposal. I don't have any final completion date, but make a guess of 2010-2012.

[SEED]

[imnobody]

In fact,most of these buildings are just U/C or will be U/C next year,coz the government has spent 3 years to do the basic constructions of the new CBD.
Here is a pic of virtual nightview of the U/C CBD.

Impressive, some of the building designs is of very high quality, all packed in one city. Thanks for sharing.

-G'day-

[Mosaic]

It's awesome and impressive project.

[Khanabadosh]

Great project. Designs of the buildings reminds me of Netherlands buildings. I think architects are from Netherlands.

Very nice project :okay:

[Rem]

I am in a hurry to see them built.... it's always different on the paper

[china168]

Coolness!!!

[jai_gandhi]

I thought dubai was the only city on the planet which has plans to make so many buildings but this is just simply amazing. China is great.

[malec]

The amount of stuff going up in China is incomprehensible. Also I'd bet there's loads that goes unnoticed, including maybe some supertalls. For example, I just found out about 2 480m twins.

[Danish_guy]

amacing!

take that one Dubai:)

[Jue]

The Fortune Finance Centre is a ripoff of Moscow's Federation complex.

Qianjiang is a good name: it means "River of Money".

[Mosaic]

very ambitious plan indeed. I like all of them, very modern and futuristic look.

[cellocello]

The name is nothing to do with Money, it's just a short of Qian Tang Jiang.

[St. Anger]

i liv in china and the construction of skyscrapers here is just insane, they r everywhere, theres probly almost nowhere in china u can go and not see one, to me, this project just seems like one of the hundred others going on in pretty much all chinese cities, the problem is that all chinese cities just look so similar and the fact that are all building skyscrapers at similar rates is just going to keep that the same.

[Jue]

The name is nothing to do with Money, it's just a short of Qian Tang Jiang.
I know, but you can't deny what it sounds like. :p

[Mosaic]

cool megaproject indeed. How long will it take for building those clusters?

[hzkiller]

Qianjiang is a river in hangzhou

[godblessbotox]

...glad to see another country other than the uae creating cities


did i miss something?

[I'll...]

to my knowledge, most of those buildings are over 500 feet

Oh my f***, i simply dont have words to describe.
All the towers look so elegant and beautiful, not too overdone.
China is great.
The amount of construction which is going on in china is just unbearable.

[feverwin]

Nice, needn't be tall, but just nice...

I think it's time to stop the race of taller and taller but nicer and nicer :)

[feverwin]

BTW, it's the first time I see the positive way of huge population in CHina, that makes this mega project possible... :D

[Techno-Architect]

Very nice renders
Could some one clearify me since i dont no much about cities in China
Is Qianjiang a city or a new development belonging to another city.....whch city then!

Another Q......wuz there any old building in this area....meaning was it a green field area or a brown field.....an entire new development or a redevelopment of old part of city!

[StevenW]

Very nice projects! :yes:

[obtuse_edge]

I thought dubai was the only city on the planet which has plans to make so many buildings but this is just simply amazing. China is great.


How can you compare Dubai to China? Dubai is only equal to ONE medium sized city in China. There are hundreds of Dubais in China.

[gaoanyu]

Very nice renders
Could some one clearify me since i dont no much about cities in China
Is Qianjiang a city or a new development belonging to another city.....whch city then!

Qianjiang a district in the city of Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. The reason Qianjiang is called a city is direct mistranslation from Chinese. i.e. In Chinese, something city does not necessarily mean that it is a proper city, it can be a part of a city, if you know what I mean (a bit confusing, I know)..

Another Q......wuz there any old building in this area....meaning was it a green field area or a brown field.....an entire new development or a redevelopment of old part of city!

That I don't know, I hope people from Hangzhou would answer your questions.

btw, I think buildings in Hangzhou has strict height limitations, just as in Xi'an, correct me if I am wrong. :)

[chenium]

Qianjiang CBD locates in Jianggan(江干 ) district of Hangzhou. This region had been the agricultural and industrial zone of Hangzhou for the last 50 years.
