Huge mixed-use development. The Chongqing International Trade and Commerce Center is actually 11 different towers that work together as one big project, covering 3.6 million square meters in downtown Chongqing, China.

Super tall main tower. The centerpiece is the International Land-Sea Center, which stands 458.2 meters high with 98 stories, making it the tallest building in Chongqing and one of the tallest in all of China.

Ship-inspired design. The tower's shape was inspired by the sailing ships that once filled the nearby Yangtze and Jialing Rivers, giving this modern skyscraper a connection to the area's history.

Downtown renewal project. This development was built as part of the Chongqing Tian Di Master Plan, which completely transformed and revitalized the downtown core area where these rivers meet.
