The Phoenix Towers (Chinese: 凤凰塔; pinyin: Fènghuángtǎ) are proposed supertall skyscrapers planned for construction in Wuhan, China.

At Lua error in Module:Convert at line 272: attempt to index local 'cat' (a nil value). high, the towers will be the second tallest structure in the world when completed. The towers are being designed by Chetwoods Architects.[2][3] Completion was planned for 2018 at a cost of GB£1.2 billion.[1] As of February 2016, construction did not start yet.

Description

The Phoenix Towers are being designed by London-based Chetwoods Architects in partnership with the HuaYan Group.[4][5] The project will consist of two buildings, representing the male and female dualistic aspects of Chinese culture. The taller tower, Feng, will have about 100 floors for residential living, offices and retail space. The slightly smaller Huang tower will contain "the world's tallest garden".[1] The towers will be constructed on an island in a lake, covering a 7-hectare (17-acre) site.[6][7][8]

The buildings will be constructed on a steel superstructure with concrete cores and buttresses. The exterior will be covered in solar panels.[7]

The towers will incorporate green energy technologies including wind, solar, thermal, biomass boilers and hydrogen fuel cells.[4][5]
