122-floor skyscraper set to rise above CBD

Beijing's tallest building will tower 500 meters above the city and stand on an 11,478-square-meter site in the Central Business District that sold at auction for 6.3 billion yuan on Dec 21.

The completed building will offer 350,000 sq m of space.

The Beijing Municipal Bureau of Land and Resource said the planning department called for such a skyscraper in its design plan for the area.
