Shanghai Tower is located in the core area of Pudong Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone in Shanghai, China. It is a super high-rise building with functions of commerce, offices, hotel, business, entertainment, and sightseeing.

The building is jointly invested and developed by Shanghai Chengtou Group Corporation, Shanghai Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone Development Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Construction Group Co., Ltd. The project began on November 29, 2008. Its civil engineering was completed at the end of 2014, and the building was put into trial operation in January 2017.

The 22nd-floor sky lobby has introduced fitness, dental care, and administrative restaurant units. The 37th-floor introduces Shanghai Guanfu Museum and the world’s highest indoor Chinese garden - Half-acre Garden, which provides cultural and artistic enjoyment for visitors.

Shanghai Tower was built with a focus on the underground at its early stage, taking on the responsibility of connecting the surrounding skyscrapers. After several studies, the construction of the underground passage project started on the last day of 2012, which took three and a half years and was successfully completed.
 

The Public Avenue is about 340 meters long, with a total area of about 5,500 square meters. It connects Shanghai Tower with Jinmao Tower, Shanghai IFC, subway line 2, Shanghai World Financial Center, and 96 Plaza (part of which is not yet opened), so that the “Golden Triangle” high-rise buildings in the core area of Lujiazui realize the “root connection” not only by streets, overpass and also at underground level.
