Wuhan Greenland Center is a 636-metre (2,087 ft), 126-floor mixed-use skyscraper currently under construction in Wuhan, China, scheduled for completion in 2019. If completed as planned, it will be the world's second tallest structure after Dubai's Burj Khalifa, and the world's tallest building by occupiable floor height. Planned amenities include the world's highest man-made observation deck on Level 126, 610 meters above ground, and the world's highest hotel, exceeding The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong.
In June 2011, Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architects in conjunction with Thornton Tomasetti Engineers won the design competition to build an energy-efficient tower for Greenland Group, a real estate developer owned by the Shanghai city government. As of October 2017, construction has reached the 95th floor.
