The construction of the headquarters building of the Qingdao International Cruise Port and Qingdao Port commenced on July 1st. It marks the construction of the cruise port city officially launching. This is also the first project under construction since the cruise port city was incorporated into the Qingdao development strategy. After completion, the headquarters building and International Cruise Passenger Transportation Center will echo each other despite being different heights. It will become a new landmark of Qingdao International Cruise Port as well as a new popular flagship where many high-end industries including domestic and overseas shipping, finance and trade will scramble to enter.
Located to the southeast of the International Cruise Home Port, the building will be 199.05m high in total with the total construction area of 112,600 square meters. Total there will be 45 floors including three floors underground and 42 floors on the ground. The high and steep, vigorous and rising curves on the external facade of the building shape an abstract sense of beauty of sailing. The three-dimensional triangular design has extreme visual impact and highlight the international image of Qingdao characterized by “sailing to the ocean, contending for the first place”.
