CITIC Plaza is an 80-story skyscraper built in Tianhe District, Guangzhou,
People's Republic of China. Its structural height is 391 m (1,283 ft)
including two tall antenna-like spires on the top. Completed in 1997, it
is the tallest concrete building in the world. Currently, it ranks as
the fourth tallest building in China, seventh in Asia, and eighth
worldwide. Located in the growing and expanding Tianhe District, it is
part of a complex of the same name which also consists of two 38-story
