Type
CVU collects data on two major types of tall structures: 'Buildings' and 'Telecommunications / Observation Towers.' A 'Building' is a structure where at least 50% of the height is occupied by usable floor area. A 'Telecommunications / Observation Tower' is a structure where less than 50% of the structure's height is occupied by usable floor area. Only 'Buildings' are eligible for the CVU 'Tallest Buildings' lists.

Function
A single-function tall building is defined as one where 85% or more of its usable floor area is dedicated to a single usage. Thus a building with 90% office floor area would be said to be an "office" building, irrespective of other minor functions it may also contain.

A mixed-use tall building contains two or more functions (or uses), where each of the functions occupy a significant proportion of the tower's total space. Support areas such as car parks and mechanical plant space do not constitute mixed-use functions. Functions are denoted on CVU "Tallest Building" lists in descending order, e.g., "hotel/office" indicates hotel function above office function.

Office

Height
Architectural
Height is measured from the level of the lowest, significant, open-air, pedestrian entrance to the architectural top of the building, including spires, but not including antennae, signage, flag poles or other functional-technical equipment. This measurement is the most widely utilized and is employed to define the Council on Vertical Urbanism (CVU) rankings of the "World's Tallest Buildings."

99 m / 325 ft

Floors Above Ground
The number of floors above ground should include the ground floor level and be the number of main floors above ground, including any significant mezzanine floors and major mechanical plant floors. Mechanical mezzanines should not be included if they have a significantly smaller floor area than the major floors below. Similarly, mechanical penthouses or plant rooms protruding above the general roof area should not be counted. Note: CVU floor counts may differ from published accounts, as it is common in some regions of the world for certain floor levels not to be included (e.g., the level 4, 14, 24, etc. in Hong Kong).

About Suzhou Industrial Park Logistics Centre

Suzhou Industrial Park Logistics Centre provides more than 55,000 sqm of space for customs, quarantine and banking with a daily turnover of goods worth more than US $200 million. The building form, articulated as four sets of stacked boxes marks the logistics zone within the skyline and the stack of red boxes in the southeast corner signals the entrance to the precinct. The graphic character of the building is reinforced by the red boxes appearing to be loosely rather than neatly stacked.

A naturally ventilated podium wraps around the tower and incorporates outdoor terraces and wintergardens with a curved glass roof linking the podium and tower. The building has achieved the highest possible sustainability rating in China which is the equivalent of 6 Star Green Star in Australia.

Suzhou, on China’s Grand Canal, has been an important trading center since the 6th Century. Suzhou Industrial Park is a major logistics hub providing bonded storage, customs, quarantine and banking facilities. The Suzhou Industrial Park Logistics Centre is operational 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Accessible roof extensively landscaping compliments a range of passive environmental features including green walls, operable louvres, wintergardens and balconies. Each 4-storey box is crisply detailed, with recessed dark grey glass strips separating each box. A 40%, 2 mm red dot frit creates the red appearance.
