CIMC Global Headquarters, China
SOM has commenced construction on the global headquarters for China International Marine Containers Group (CIMC) in Shenzhen. The 270-meter-tall structure, designed by SOM after winning an international competition, will stand as a 53-story tower. The project aims to serve as a corporate hub while also incorporating sustainable practices. Photovoltaic integration creates sustainable energy sources, while optimized material usage aims to minimize waste.
CIMC Tower will host office spaces along with retail and conference facilities designed to accommodate over 60,000 employees. The headquarters will feature a central sky lobby acting as a green communal space within the tower's core and a rooftop garden with panoramic views of Qianhai Bay. At the ground level, a grand office lobby, a sunlit atrium, and a sunken plaza provide public access and connectivity to the surrounding urban infrastructure. The development is scheduled for completion by 2029.
