The Ping An Finance Center (Chinese: 平安金融中心; pinyin: Píng'ān Jīnróng Zhōngxīn) is a 115-storey, 599.1 m (1,966 ft) supertall skyscraper in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. It was completed in 2017, and is the tallest building in Shenzhen, the 2nd tallest building in China and the 5th tallest building in the world. The building contains office, hotel and retail spaces, a conference center, and a high-end shopping mall.
The observation deck is named Free Sky and is located on floor 116, which broke the record of having the highest observation deck in a building at 562.5 m (1,845 ft). The observation deck allows 360-degree views. Inside there are a transparent viewing area, interactive experience area, and special display area to showcase youth cultures with Shenzhen special characteristics through multimedia facilities. The opening hours are 10am to 8pm, last entry 7.15pm.
The building houses the headquarters of Ping An Insurance, with their company name representing the building name. The building was commissioned by Ping An Insurance and designed by the American architectural firm Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates. The design of the building is meant to be unique and elegant, and to represent the history and achievements of the main tenant. A stainless-steel facade that weighs approximately 1,700 metric tons (3,700,000 lb) provides a modern design to the building.
It is the second largest skyscraper in the world by floor area after Azabudai Hills Main Tower in Tokyo, Japan. The building has a gross floor area of 378,600 m2 (4,075,000 sq ft). The 115-storey tower has a width-to-height aspect ratio of 1:10 and also has an 11-story podium. Including the podium, the building has 495,520 m2 (5,333,700 sq ft) of floor space. A five-level basement adds 90,000 m2 (970,000 sq ft). The 620,000-metric-ton (1.37×109 lb) tower has eight main columns which form the superstructure. The column dimensions range from approximately 6 by 3.2 m (19 ft 8 in by 10 ft 6 in) at the lowest level to 2.9 by 1.4 m (9 ft 6 in by 4 ft 7 in) at the top of the tower.
The second building of the project, a 290-metre (950 ft), 47-story skyscraper known as the South Tower, has been completed. Construction began in April 2014 and it opened in 2018/19. The complex includes a 5-star Park Hyatt hotel, a planned retail bridge connecting the two skyscrapers from levels 3 through 6.
The Ping An International Finance Center is equipped with 33 double deck elevators, travelling at maximum speeds of up to 10 m/s (2,000 ft/min).
The building is located within the Central Business District of Shenzhen in Futian. Its 18,391 m2 (197,960 sq ft) lot was purchased by Ping An Group via auction at a price of 1.6568 billion RMB on 6 November 2007. Design of the building began in 2008 with Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates providing the architectural design and Thornton Tomasetti providing structural design. Its foundation stone was laid on 29 August 2009, and construction started in November the same year. China Construction First Building Group was hired as the general contractor to construct the building.
