The Dongguan International Trade Center is a master-planned mixed-use project that intended to play a key role in shaping the city's new identity as an artistic creative haven. When completed, its five towers – including studios for creative technology companies – will rise above a six-level retail complex of stores and restaurants. The tallest tower – an office building crowned by a club, an observation deck and a symbolic lantern – will rise 427 meters, making it the 23rd tallest skyscraper in the world.
