CITIC Tower (otherwise known as China Zun) is a supertall skyscraper in the Central Business District of Beijing. The 109-story, 528 m (1,732 ft) building is the tallest in the city, surpassing the China World Trade Center Tower III by 190 metres. On August 18, 2016, CITIC Tower surpassed China World Trade Center Tower III in height, becoming Beijing's tallest building. The tower structurally topped out on July 9, 2017, fully topped out on August 18, 2017, and was completed in late 2018, making CITIC Tower the tallest completed building of 2018. The nickname China Zun comes from the zun, an ancient Chinese wine vessel which inspired the building design, according to the developers, the CITIC Group. The groundbreaking ceremony of the building took place in Beijing on September 19, 2011, and the constructors expect to finish the project within five years. CITIC Tower is Northern China's third tallest building after Goldin Finance 117 and Chow Tai Fook Binhai Center in Tianjin. (Source: Wikipedia.org, CC BY-SA)
