2 Shanghai Tower


As the tallest building in China upon completion, Shanghai Tower has had an immediate and profound impact on the country's perceptions ...
Shanghai Tower is a 128-story, 632-meter-tall megatall skyscraper in Lujiazui, Pudong, Shanghai. It is the world's second-tallest building by height to architectural top and it shares the record of having the world's highest observation deck within a building or structure at 562 m. 


Conceived as a 'self-contained city', the tower comprises nine vertical zones that range between 12 and 15 stories. at the base of the structure, zone 1 contains retail and conference outlets, while zones 2-6 offer office space. zone 7 houses a hotel, with further hotels and boutique outlets found in zone 8.

But since its opening in 2016, Shanghai Tower has faced a myriad of problems - most notably an astonishingly low occupancy rate. Until as recently as 2018, the building was half empty. ... The tower's low occupancy rate is painfully obvious at night, when half the tower fails to light up.
