Suzhou Zhongnan Center (Chinese: 苏州中南中心) is a 499.2-metre (1,638 ft) tall building under construction in Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP), Suzhou, Jiangsu, China. Original plans called for a height of 729 metres (2,391.7 ft) but plans were scrapped in 2019 in compliance with China's ban on buildings taller than 500 metres (1,641 ft). The new tower was proposed in 2019 and construction started less than a year later with a planned completion date of 2025.

Original Design[]

The original building's design called for a height of 729 metres (2,391.7 ft) with a total of 137 floors. The tower was proposed in 2011 and began construction in 2014 but was halted a year later. In 2019, the tower was cancelled and replaced with a 499 meter tower. The original tower would’ve been the second tallest building in the world if it were actually completed.
