The named 'Sky City' will reportedly break ground next month.
SKY CITY located in Binshui New Town, Wangcheng District, Changsha. The gross building area is 1,200,000 m2, which consists of a 220-storey main building (838m, 1,050,000m2), four wing buildings in various heights from 3 to 7 storeys (23m, and 35,000m2), and 4 storeys basement with the area of 130,000m2. It is a multi-function vertical city that provides convenient working and living for 30,000.
Sky City is a revolution in building construction mode. The extreme productivity is mainly due to a system of modules and prefabricated parts combined with a back-breaking timeline. Located in just outside changsha, the rapidly developing waterfront area that will soon house a Theater Complex by Zaha Hadid, the mixed use residential complex will house 30,000 people inside. Approximately 83% of the vertical complex will be exclusively residential, while 3% will be reserved for office use. A hotel with a thousand person capacity and a school set to educate 4600 children is also planned for the vertical urban complex.
