A New Skyscraper For Shenzhen: Feng Long Center
Hey, I think Shenzhen needs some more high-rise buildings, don’t you?
How’s this for size? –
The Skyscraper City site alerted us to this new construction called the Feng Long Center, which English-only speakers in Shenzhen would probably otherwise know nothing about until its full 399m popped into view in, say, 6 months.
BBS user comment:
Nice building but too much resemblance to the Melbourne Central building in Melbourne. Proposal 2 looks too ordinary. Shenzhen government should ask for more proposals. Shenzhen without oil like Dubai but has been growing insanely fast for the past decades growing at 16% a year.I think Shenzhen desperately needs a mega project to symbolise its glory also.
The glory of Shenzhen is in its karaoke bars, surely? I suppose a building of this size will have several.
And the plan includes another version of the tower in case the whole thing wasn’t Shenzhen enough for you:
Remind you of any other buildings you’ve seen in large Chinese cities?
