The towers were the first super-tall buildings in China to achieve the prestigious certifications of "WELL V2 Core Platinum" and "LEED V4 Gold" for its sustainable design. The building complex comprised a large number of modern technology. The aim was to concentrate multiple space facilities and vertical functional differentiation to make it become a three-dimensional 'city in the sky' which can accommodate nearly 30,000 people living office-healthy-green-smart-safe super high-rise landmarks, but also to form a natural environment coexisting with working spaces. == Transportion == The complex is located at No. 8 Yaxing Road, Bantian Street, Longgang District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province.
