The CTBUH lists a project manager when a specific firm has been commissioned to oversee this aspect of a tall building’s design/construction. When the project management efforts are handled by the developer, main contract, or architect, this field will be omitted.

Other Consultant refers to other organizations which provided significant consultation services for a building project (e.g. wind consultants, environmental consultants, fire and life safety consultants, etc).
Material Supplier refers to organizations which supplied significant systems/materials for a building project (e.g. elevator suppliers, facade suppliers, etc).
The concept for the Zhejiang Fortune Finance Center was to utilize elegant forms which play off each other to create a timeless addition to the Hangzhou Central Business District. Each tower has a sloped top, with the east tower oriented toward the west tower to create a dynamic transition between the two buildings. The two-level plaza that unites the complex is accentuated by a water feature that recalls the nearby Xin Tang River and lends a serene atmosphere to the space. Retail in the lower-level plaza is easily accessed by a grand stair in the center of the upper plaza.
Though the towers have a curvilinear form, the structural design and cladding were able to be standardized. The composite structure has a regular grid spacing of about six meters, while the glazing system is a segmented unitized curtain wall. Wherever possible, materials used for the towers were from regional sources, reducing travel distance and supporting the local economy.
