THE SKY’S THE LIMIT

Shanghai’s International Finance Center (IFC) is an architectural statement matching the city’s dramatic rise as an economic powerhouse. Customized KONE DoubleDeck elevators complement this marvel of modern engineering.

Description

Located in the Lujiazui financial district in Pudong, the Shanghai IFC is a striking complex of three ultra-modern buildings, the tallest of which measures 260 meters. This mixed-use commercial development will host offices, two high-end hotels and one of the most exclusive shopping malls in the city. The Shanghai IFC is a landmark project not only for the city of Shanghai, but also for the developer, Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP). Winning this high-profile contract in mainland China was a major break for the Hong Kongbased company – and an important test of its capabilities.
