The Guomao Building (Chinese: 国贸大厦; pinyin: guómào dàshà; literally: "International Trade Centre Building", otherwise known as International Foreign Trade Centre ) is a office tower and one of the earliest skyscrapers in Shenzhen, China.[1]
Located at the junction of Jiabin Road and Renmin South Road, Luohu District, the building stands 160 metres tall and consists of 50 stories. Construction started on 1 November 1982 and was completed 37 months later on December 29, 1985. This earned the city's rapid rate of development the nickname "Shenzhen Speed".[2] It was the tallest building in China upon completion.
The building stands on a slot of 20,000 square metres and a built-up floor area of 100,000 square metres. It consists mainly of office space (floors 5-43, except 24) but features a revolving restaurant at the 48th and 49th floor and a helipad atop the building. The first five floors are retail spaces.
