A note on these measurements

Wikidata contains other height values. The ranking uses the explicitly identified architectural height in the linked measurement source; tip, roof and proposal heights are not interchangeable. Directory record added 9 September 2026. The original top-ten engineering dossiers have a deeper independent review; this record does not claim that same verification level. See source ↗

ENGINEERING DOSSIER

How Zifeng Tower works

Project evidence, construction records and the limits of what is documented. A named consultant’s role is kept separate from the architect, contractor and local engineer of record.

A project-team technical narrative has not yet been verified for this building. The evidence register below identifies the recorded details and the information still needed for a full account of its structural and construction systems.

Technical evidence register
TopicRecorded informationHow to interpret it
Structural systemNot confirmedThe frame description needs to distinguish gravity support from wind and earthquake resistance. Read the engineering guide ↗
Main structural materialNot confirmedA material label does not establish steel grade, concrete strength, fire protection or connection details. Read the engineering guide ↗
Basement levelsNot confirmedBasement count does not establish pile depth, founding stratum, bearing pressure or the excavation sequence. Read the engineering guide ↗
Elevator count54 [source]Car count does not establish passenger capacity, speed, zoning, redundancy or peak traffic performance. Read the engineering guide ↗
Construction startNot confirmedA start year can refer to enabling works, foundations or the main construction contract. Read the engineering guide ↗
Structural topping outNot confirmedTopping out marks a structural milestone; facade work, commissioning and occupancy can follow later. Read the engineering guide ↗

Reading the vertical dimensions

The directory records 450 metres of architectural height and 89 above-ground floors. The highest occupied level has not been confirmed here. Measurement source ↗

Dividing architectural height by floor count would include the crown and any unequal floor heights. It cannot be used as a typical floor-to-floor dimension, a measure of slenderness or a structural design input.
