Wuhan Greenland Center
Wuhan Greenland Center is a 476-metre (1,562 ft) tall skyscraper in Wuhan, China. The tower was originally planned to be 636 metres (2,087 ft), but it 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 finally topped-out in late 2020 and was 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.
The original plan for the building was to have it rise 636 metres (2,087 ft), surpassing the Shanghai Tower by only 4.3 metres (14 ft) and the Tokyo Skytree by 2.1 metres (7 ft), making it the second tallest man-made structure in the world. The tower was also supposed to have 126 floors, the second most of any building in the world, as well. When the Wuhan Greenland Center reached its 96th floor, construction was halted due to airspace restrictions which led to its subsequent redesign to a 476 metres (1,562 ft) building instead of a 636 metres (2,087 ft) building. The Wuhan Greenland Center is currently the 14th tallest building in the world.
