Wuhan Greenland Center[3] is an under construction skyscraper in Wuhan, China. Due to airspace regulations, it has been redesigned so its height does not exceed 500 metres (1,600 ft) above sea level.[4] Another Chinese building, Ping An Finance Center, was also scaled down for similar reasons.

In June 2011, Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architects in conjunction with Thornton Tomasetti Engineers won the design competition[5] to build an energy-efficient[5] tower for Greenland Group, a real estate developer owned by the Shanghai city government.

Original design[]

The original plan for the building was to have it rise 636 metres (2,087 ft),[6] 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. It was first proposed in 2010 and construction commenced in 2012. 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)[7] building instead of a 636 metres (2,087 ft) building. When completed, the redesign of the Wuhan Greenland Center will be the 15th tallest building in the world.
