DJI Sky City (Chinese: 大疆天空之城; pinyin: Dàjiāng tiānkōng zhī chéng)[1][2]), also known as DJI Headquarters Tower, is the global corporate headquarters of DJI. Located in Nanshan, Shenzhen, China, the building complex serves as the laboratory and office spaces for the company. The building was designed by Norman Foster of Foster and Partners and constructed by China State Construction Engineering corporation. The project broke ground in 2017 and completed in December 2022.[3][4]
The complex consists of two tower buildings, each with a central core with large volumes cantilevered. Multiple protruding glass blocks are suspended asymmetrically on the side. The complex will host 8,000 employees with office space, research and development, testing, and public facilities.[5] The two skyscrapers are around 200 meters tall (213m and 195m respectively[6]), with an open-air suspension bridge connecting them at 100 meters above the ground.[7]
