The Guangzhou Chow Tai Fook Finance Centre (simplified Chinese: 广州周大福金融中心; traditional Chinese: 廣州周大福金融中心; pinyin: Guǎngzhōu zhōudàfú jīnróng zhōngxīn), also called East Tower, it is a 530-metre (1,739 ft) tall mixed-use skyscraper in Guangzhou, Guangdong, which was completed in October 2016. It is the tallest completed building in Guangzhou, the third-tallest in China, and the eighth-tallest in the world. The Guangzhou CTF Finance Centre has a total of 111 above ground and five below ground floors and houses a shopping mall, offices, apartments, and a hotel. The skyscraper has a gross floor area of 507,681.0 m2 (5,464,633 sq ft), of which a little over 20% is not part of the skyscraper itself, but of the podium connected to it.[2]
The Guangzhou CTF Finance Centre is situated on a 27,000 m2 (290,000 sq ft) lot along Zhujiang East Road in Zhujiang New Town, Guangzhou's central business district.[6] In that neighborhood, the skyscraper is located east of the central axis with an underground mall and connections to public transportation underneath it.[7][8] The Guangzhou CTF Centre is part of the Guangzhou Twin Towers. The other tower of the pair, the 439 m (1,439 ft) tall Guangzhou International Finance Center, is located on the other side of the axis and is also known under the name "West Tower". The Guangzhou CTF Centre is therefore known as the "East Tower" as well.[3] Both towers have a similar height, size, and function, and are situated close to the 604 m (1,982 ft) tall Canton Tower.[7][9]
The Guangzhou CTF Finance Centre is owned by Chow Tai Fook Enterprises, and houses the world's fastest elevators, which can reach speeds up to 21 m/s (69 ft/s).[2][10][11]
