World Trade Center - Phase III

I am obsessed with new buildings, new projects, and anything to do with infrastructure. One of the most important projects in Beijing currently underway is the construction of The World Trade Center - Phase 3. The currently operating World Trade Center, located in the heart of the CBD, encompasses a 5-star hotel, office buildings, residential housing, a shopping mall, an ice rink, and an exhibition hall. Phase 3 will even be more extravagant with another hotel, modern shopping complex, grand ballroom, and offices. When erected it will stand 300 meters or 984 feet, making it the tallest building in the city. As the Beijing skyline becomes a work in progress, this mega tower will certainly become a symbol of new Beijing. Here are a few pics that I took last month of the project:
