The Bodi Center is a mixed-use skyscraper complex in the Xiaoshan District of Hangzhou, China.

Tower C is the current 5th tallest building in Hangzhou.[1]

History

The building complex is located in the Xiaoshan District of Hangzhou, adjacent to the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Expo Center and the Yingfeng Station of the Hangzhou Metro Line 2. The complex was developed by the Chinese real estate company of Bodi Group and designed by the Australian studio Woods Bagot.[2]

Architecture

The complex covers an area of 22745sigfig=3NaNsigfig=3 and has a total construction area of 300000sigfig=3NaNsigfig=3 usable gross area over all the three towers. It consists of three super high-rise tower buildings, of which Building A is a 33-story office tower, Building B compiling a 34-story office tower sharing its functionality with a five-star hotel. The latter is part of the Radisson Hotel Group brand which was opened in May 2019, which houses a total of 186 rentable units and a banquet and conference hall at the lower levels with a gross usable area of more than 1,000 square meters.[3]) Building C, the main tower of the complex is a 279.7-meter 55-story super high-rise class A office building.[4]

The facades for all of the three towers dispose of a curtain wall glazing system with insulated glass panels. The used glass surfaces are protected by vertical mullions to strengthen their height, while the curved corners enhance aerodynamic impact and views of the surrounding area.[5] A helipad was built on the top of the building which serves for quick transportation.[6]
