Suzhou Zhongnan Center Restarts as a 499-Meter Redesign
- The Suzhou Zhongnan Center in Suzhou Industrial Park, Jiangsu, was originally designed as a 729 m, 137-floor mixed-use tower (proposed 2011, construction began 2014, halted 2015 and abandoned)[3]
- Plans were scrapped in 2019 in compliance with China's ban on buildings over 500 m; the redesign is 499.2 m and 103 floors with hotel, office and residential use, developed by Zhongnan Group[2][3]
- Construction on the new design started in 2020 with estimated completion of 2028, but work halted in mid-2022 over Zhongnan's financial difficulties and, per Wikipedia, had not resumed as of 2026[3]

Wikipedia[3] and the Skyscraper Center[2] give only the year 2020 for the start of construction on the redesigned 499.2 m tower, so the pin is dated to the end of 2020.

The CTBUH's official Skyscraper Center database independently lists the building's on-hold/stalled status, corroborating that construction has not progressed toward the pin's stored completion date.

Wikipedia documents that the tower's planned height was already cut from 729m to 499.2m in 2019 under China's building-height cap, and construction was halted in mid-2022; as of late 2025 the stalled project was listed for sale by its lender, so it did not complete by the pin's stored end of 2020 and has no confirmed new completion date.
