Wuhan Riverfront Erqi Parcel
Wuhan, China
SOM’s multi-disciplinary approach to city building makes a global statement at Wuhan’s Erqi district. Architecture, structural engineering and city design came together to create a new green, transit-oriented riverfront business district, cultural center, and residential community connected to a landscaped public park along the Yangtze River.
China’s tallest tower rising from a central cultural park, a green heritage trail angling through the new district to a revered Revolutionary site, and a serpentine, tree-lined pedestrian and bicycle bridge flowing to the riverfront park are all part of a new 90-hectare commercial center for Wuhan.
This livable, walkable redevelopment is centered on an iconic 707-meter mixed-use tower of office, hotel and residential, and the world’s tallest observation deck at a height of 668 meters.
