Construction has commenced on the Shenzhen Institute of Financial Technology tower, a 46-story building designed by Zaha Hadid Architects. The building's form, measuring 199 meters in height, incorporates setbacks placed to maximize sunlight penetration to surrounding streets and public areas. This design decision is further reflected in the façade's varying transparency and color, created by vertical and angled glazing mullions in black and bronze. The 76,000 sq. m tower is set to incorporate the Shenzhen Institute's expanding research and development laboratories, technology exchange, data centers, training campus, together with management, support and administrative departments.
