About the project

Rising 499 meters on the western bank of Suzhou's Jinji Lake, the Zhongnan Center is designed by Gensler as a slender, stepped supertall whose faceted glass facade draws on the patterns and silhouettes of traditional Suzhou architecture. Across 103 floors it stacks luxury residences around a series of sky atriums and garden-connected communal levels, culminating in a summit that holds the region's highest 360-degree observation deck doubling as a private residents' club and amenity zone. The tapering, corner-notched form is engineered to sit within China's 500-meter height limit while claiming its place among the tallest residential towers in the world.
