It is planned to be 366 metres (1,201 ft) tall.[1] Construction started in 2014 and was expected to be completed in 2020. However, as of July 2023 the construction is on hold.[1] Due to a recent height restriction in all of China, its height has been decreased from the original design which was 565 metres (1,854 ft) tall.[2]

The towers occupy a site to the south of the Liaoning TV Tower, and form part of a master plan covering an area of 59 hectares along the famous "Golden Corridor" Youth Street in the central business district. The development overlooks Youth Park and the Nanyun River to the east. In addition to the two supertall towers, the complex will contain five high-rise residential buildings, each rising approximately 200 meters above a podium that accommodates a large shopping mall.

Design

Rising upward, the tower widens slightly before it tapers, giving it an oblong appearance. For structural consideration in a high seismic zone, the tower shaft evolves from a square to a convex plan with corners carved out to further reduce the considerable bulk of the tower and to soften the scale contrast with the surrounding residential towers. At the top, an executive club is located within a giant "pearl" that measures 50 meters in diameter.
