Goldin Finance 117, also known as China 117 Tower (Chinese: 中国117大厦), is a supertall unfinished skyscraper in Xiqing District, Tianjin, China. The tower was topped out in 2015 at a height of 597 m (1,957 ft). It has 128 storeys above ground, with 117 of them intended for housing, hotel, and commercial space, which provides the source of the building’s name.[2] Designed by P&T Group, construction began in 2008 but was twice halted. As of November 2024[update], it remains unfinished and unoccupied.
Goldin Finance 117 and other failed skyscraper projects in China were responsible for the government banning construction of buildings over 500 metres (1,640 feet).[3][4] If ever completed, Goldin Finance 117 will be one of China's last 500 m+ towers for the foreseeable future.[5][4]
