Kingkey 100, formerly named Kingkey Finance Center Plaza, is a mega skyscraper built in the financial district of Luohu in Shenzhen, Guangdong. The newest landmark building in China was topped up late in April this year, and will be fully completed in August. The 442-m, 100-storey tower has replaced Shun Hing Square as the tallest building in Shenzhen, and become the ninth tallest in the world.
The building, part of a 417,000 square meter mixed-use complex, features office space and the St. Regis Hotel. The hotel will be used for the 26th Summer World University Games to be held in Shenzhen from August 12 to 20. The lower section of the building is reserved for luxury retail and entertainment space, including the city's first ever IMAX cinema.
