16 High-rises over 200 m in Shanghai Designed by KPF

KPF creates the skyline in the 21st century in Shanghai. It has designed 16 supertall buildings over 200 m for Shanghai.

The proposal of KPF

Besides, the ECADI is one of the design units in China, covering a wide range of design qualifications and disciplines. It is undoubtedly a correct choice to choose the KPF-ECADI consortium for the North Bund Center, a small plot with complex traffic and business organization.

16 Upcoming High-rises on the North Bund

The design of the North Bund Center incorporates KPF's elements of supertall building design in different periods.

The proposal of KPF

However, compared with other supertall buildings of the same height, the North Bund Center has fewer floors, with only about 80 floors.

The proposal of KPF

The construction is expected to commence soon. The North Bund will also welcome one 380 m building, two 300-320 m buildings, nine 200-265 m buildings, three 180 m buildings, and one 60 m building.

Urban Development Plan of the North Bund

In the future, the North Bund area will become a new landmark in Shanghai after the Bund and Lujiazui area.
