history of architecture

The development right was given to MTR Corporation Limited, including the construction area of two high-rise buildings in the fifth phase of Kowloon Station in the sixth and seventh phases of the property (so it was not called the fifth phase of Kowloon Station), and on September 6, 2000, the fifth, sixth and seventh phases were combined for public bidding, of which the seventh phase was a skyscraper (now World Trade Plaza). Sun Hung Kai Properties successfully obtained the development rights of related properties, which contributed to the largest single development project in recent years. The whole project includes the development of residences, hotels, serviced residences, shopping malls, office buildings and parking lots, with a total construction area of 504,350 square meters (5.4 million square feet) and an investment of about 20 billion yuan.

Preliminary plan

MTR Corporation Limited and the developer Sun Hung Kai Property Development Co., Ltd. held the signing ceremony of the seventh phase of Kowloon Station on October 30th, 2000. The developer announced plans to build a conical skyscraper designed by SOM Architects, with a height of 574m (465,438+05.8m higher than the second phase of the International Finance Center, which was about to start at that time). It is planned to set a new record for the tallest building in Hong Kong and is expected to become one of the tallest buildings in the world.

Final scheme

Engineering consulting firm Arup &; The report of Partners Hong Kong Limited pointed out that the scheme designed by SOM architectural firm has structural problems, and the construction and maintenance costs are too high, which is not cost-effective. As a result, the developer Sun Hung Kai Properties re-opened the tender to design the building, and put forward two major principles: first, the building is technically feasible, and second, it is cost-effective.

The final design was won by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates at 200 1, and the height was lowered to 480m (the actual height was 474m). Subsequently, the developer Sun Hung Kai Properties applied to the Urban Planning Commission in 2005 to raise the total building height from the horizontal benchmark of 480 meters to the horizontal benchmark of 490 meters (that is, the actual height is 484 meters), which was finally approved. The revised height can still make it the tallest building in Hong Kong, but it cannot surpass the world's tallest building, Taipei 10 1 Building (508 meters high).

There have been rumors that the height reduction of the World Trade Center was caused by the government's revision of the law. This is really a rumor. According to the Outline Zoning Plan of the Town Planning Board, as of July 2007, the location of the World Trade Center did not list any building height restrictions. Therefore, Sun Hung Kai Properties applied to the Town Planning Board in 2005 to raise the total building height from the horizontal benchmark of 480 meters to the horizontal benchmark of 490 meters, and was successfully approved.
