Shimao International Center is a 273-metre (896 ft) tall skyscraper located in Fuzhou, Fujian, China. The building's main usage is for commercial offices. Completed in 2013, it was the tallest building in Fuzhou.[3] It was then surpassed by the 300-metre (984 ft) tall Shenglong Global Center in 2019.[6][7]

History

On May 16, 2007, Shimao Property bought several land plots near Fuzhou's Wuyi Square for development at ¥1.51 billion. The development project, which at that time was known as Fuzhou Chating Phase II, would comprise a 250 m (820 ft) tall five-star hotel, office building and four 160 m (525 ft) tall residential towers. The tallest building, called "Shimao International Center", was planned to contain offices, a five-star hotel, retail space, and a podium. It is located at Plot 1, at the southwest corner of the intersection of Qunzhong Road and Guangda Road in Taijiang District.[8][1]

The Strait Metropolis Daily reported that the project broke ground in October 2007. The ceremony was attended by Fuzhou Mayor Zheng Songyan and Shimao Group Chairman Xu Rongmao.[1] On July 16, 2010, Haixi Real Estate Network reported that the tower's functions would be divided as follows: floors 1–7 would contain InterContinental Hotel's supporting facilities, floors 9–18 would contain offices, floors 20–33 would function as InterContinental Hotel's guest rooms, and floors 35–58 would be used for a private club, with the tower height raised to 262 m (860 ft).[9] Later in September that year, Strait Metropolis Daily stated that it would reach a height of 273 m (896 ft).[10] The building was eventually topped out on September 28, 2011,[11] at a height of 273 m (896 ft).[12] It was then completed and opened in 2013.[2][3][13][14][15]

On January 25, 2014, InterContinental Fuzhou was officially opened in the building.[16] The hotel has 360 rooms.[17]
