A groundbreaking ceremony was held for what will be the third highest building in the world - Wuhan Greenland Center - in Wuhan city of Central China’s Hubei province Wednesday, according to chinanews.com.cn.
The multifunctional skyscraper, which scheduled to be completed in 2014, will complete with a five-star hotel, Grade-A offices, luxury apartments and upscale retail outlets.
And it will only be dwarfed by the 800-meter Burj Dubai Tower and 632-meter Shanghai Center Tower.

The investment is estimated to exceed 30 billion yuan, said the developer, Shanghai-based Greenland Group. (ANI)
