The construction of the Shanghai Global Finance Center(L) is almost completed, rubbing shoulders with Jinmo Tower.

 

The construction of the Shanghai Global Finance Center has now moved to the architectural behemoth's 97th floor, leaving only four more floors to go to make it the highest building in the world.

With an ever-increasing number of foreign companies flocking into Shanghai, office buildings at the heart of the city have become hot property to lease. The mammoth project located in Pudong District will tower above the city at 101 stories high, making it the tallest building in the world. With rent set to be placed at US$3.3 per square meter per day, its office space is set to be the most expensive in Shanghai.
