Ping An Finance Center is located in Futian District, Shenzhen City. The total construction area of this project is 460,700 sqm. It contains 5 underground floors and 118 ground floors. The total height of this Center is 592.5 m, which is the tallest skyscraper in Shenzhen City. Ping An Finance Center rises from a prominent location in the center of the city, connecting seamlessly to neighboring commercial and residential properties, as well as the Pearl River Delta’s high-speed rail corridor.
The shape of the tower is that of a taught steel cable, outstretched by the sky and the ground at once. At the top of the tower, the facades taper to form a pyramid, giving the tower a prismatic aesthetic. The form is emphasized by eight composite super-columns that extrude beyond the building envelope. This design is not only visually appealing, but also practical. The streamlined shape of the tower improves both structural and wind performance, reducing baseline wind loads by 35%.
The facade of Ping An Finance Center is one of its most important features. At the time of completion, the tower is adorned by the largest stainless steel facade in the world to date, using a total of 1,700 tons of 316L stainless steel. This material was chosen specifically for this project due to its corrosion-resistance, which will keep the appearance of the Ping An Finance Center unchanged for several decades despite Shenzhen's salty coastal atmosphere.
