Shenzhen Office Q1 2020 EN
M A R K E T B E AT SHENZHEN Office Q1 2020 Continued Market Fall in Q1 with Business Suspended 12-Mo. Shenzhen’s Grade A office market was impacted by the epidemic, with business effectively halted from the Spring Festival period until the end of Forecast the quarter. Most deals recorded in Q1 were completed before the Spring Festival. ¥235.21 Three Grade A office towers were completed in Q1,bringing 300,152 sq m of new supply and taking overall stock to 5.82 million sq m. Landlords’ Rent (PSM/MO) affiliated companies drove occupier demand, supporting net absorption of 85,587 sq m for the quarter.

Unpublished © Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat / Philip Oldfield; Bronte Doherty Architecture/Design Offset Cores: Trends, Drivers and Frequency in Tall Buildings Abstract This research explores the trends, drivers and frequency of offset cores in the world’s tallest buildings. It charts the history of tall building layouts, exploring the motivation behind offset-core morphologies emerging in the second half of the 20th century. Drawing from the literature, it then provides a definition for central, perimeter, mixed and offset cores, allowing for the categorization of the future 500 Dr. Philip Oldfield Bronte Doherty tallest buildings in terms of core position. It also identifies the tallest 20 buildings in the world with offset cores. The Hanking Center Tower in Shenzhen, at 358.9 meters Authors in height, was confirmed as the world’s tallest building with an offset core, as of the Dr. Philip Oldfield, Director of the Architecture Program end of 2018. Given a recent increase in the vertical development of smaller sites in Faculty of the Built Environment, UNSW Sydney Room 2009, Red Centre West Wing dense urban environments, and increased emphasis on passive design and Sydney NSW 2052, Australia +61 2 9385 6821 environmental performance, the authors expect a greater diversity of core [email protected] locations to emerge among the world’s tallest buildings in the future. -

Shenzhen Office Q4 2019 EN
M A R K E T B E AT SHENZHEN Office Q4 2019 12-Mo. Rent Falls as Vacancy Climbs and Relocation Demand is Stimulated Forecast Three Grade A office buildings were completed in Q4, pushing new supply for the year to 535,600 sq m. Absorption was weak, recording only 17,634 sq m for the quarter. Annual absorption amounted to 101,745 sq m, down 70% on 2018. A softening economy impacted company ¥242.53 expansion strategies and weakened office space demand. Although leasing transactions were active in Q4 compared with the prior quarter, Rent (PSM/MO) demand came mainly from the needs of relocations towards smaller office spaces and lower rents. Overall market absorption was sluggish. -3.9% In Futian some finance sector companies defaulted due to tightened financial regulations, pushing the vacancy rate up 1.2 percentage points q-o-q Rental Growth (QOQ) to 16.2%. Amid softened demand landlords adjusted rents, driving down Futian’s average rent to RMB267.99 per sq m per month, a drop of 12.9% y-o-y. In Nanshan, five Grade A office buildings were added in 2019. The vacancy rate rose to 29.1% by the end of the year. The TMT sector 22.0% remained active in leasing, but less so than in previous years. Amid fierce market competition landlords relaxed rents, dropping Nanshan’s average Vacancy Rate rent 8.4% y-o-y to RMB220.75 per sq m per month. As development advances westward the Luohu office market has become less active due to limited new supply. -

CTBUH Year in Review: Tall Trends of 2017 2017: Skyscraper History’s Tallest, Highest- Volume, and Most Geographically Diverse Year Abstract The 2017 Tall Building Year in Review / Tall Buildings in Numbers data analysis report shows that more buildings of 200 meters’ height or greater were completed in 2017 than in any other year, with a total of 144 completions. Notably, 2017 was also the most geographically diverse year in terms of the number of cities and countries that completed 200-meter-plus buildings, with 69 cities across 23 countries represented in the data, up from 54 cities across 18 countries in 2016.

Morphosis Reimagines the Skyscraper with Hanking Center (Shenzhen, China)
Morphosis Reimagines the Skyscraper with Hanking Center (Shenzhen, China) At almost 360m tall, the recently completed tower features an innovative steel structural system and detached-core configuration that significantly maximizes efficiency and flexibility of interior floor plates Courtesy of Zhang Chao June 2, 2021 (Shenzhen, China) – Global architecture and design firm Morphosis has completed work on Hanking Center, a mixed-use complex with a commercial office tower and retail center located in Shenzhen, China. At 359.8m tall, the 65-story tower is defined by its pioneering steel structural system and a detached-core configuration which positions the tower’s primary core on the building’s exterior. This radical rethinking of the typology promotes higher efficiency and adaptability of interior floor plates, enhancing the tower’s ability to service the varying needs of its occupants. The detached-core configuration also allows for an innovative approach to internal circulation and the creation of social and work spaces that seamlessly integrate public and private domains. Completed in 2018 with a gradual opening that continues into 2021, the tower is the firm’s first supertall skyscraper and houses 1.8 million square feet of facilities. As of 2021, Hanking Center is the tallest detached-core building in the world. “As a typology, skyscrapers tend to emphasize shape as the primary differentiator,” said Pritzker Prize- winning architect and Morphosis Founding Partner Thom Mayne. “Instead, we focused on lived experience within the city. The delamination between the circulation core and the office spaces within the tower generates a threshold, an intensification of the urban landscape as part of the day-to-day." Project Director and Morphosis Partner Eui-Sung Yi added: “Hanking Center continues the firm’s tradition of creating buildings that reflect the spirit of the cities in which they are located and that are also deeply integrated within its urban fabric. -
