The 918-foot, 49-story tower is the first of two that will eventually form the heart of a mixed-use corporate campus known as The Springs on a central site in the Yangpu district for developer <a href="https://archinect.com/news/tag/796440/tishman-speyer" target="_blank">Tishman Speyer</a>. </p>
<p>The design is punctuated midway by a striking offset structural core, which, according to the firm, is unique to just 3% of the 500 tallest buildings in the world. </p>
