History
The history of skyscrapers in Beijing began in 1959 with the completion of the Minzu Hotel. Beijing's skyline gradually expanded upward at a modest rate for three decades. The completion of the China World Trade Center Tower 1 in 1989 marked the beginning of Beijing's first building boom that lasted ten years. During this time period, four skyscrapers taller than 150 m were completed, including the 208 m Jing Guang Centre, which stood as the tallest building in Beijing from 1990–2006. A second, much larger boom began in 2004 and continues into the present, where twelve skyscrapers taller than 150 m were finished. Many of the skyscrapers completed during both building booms are located in Chaoyang District, including the Beijing TV Centre, Park Tower and Fortune Plaza Office Building 1, all of which served as the tallest building in the city for a time. In December 2008, the number of completed highrise buildings were increased to 895 in Beijing.

Another famous project in the city is the 234 m, 51-storey CCTV Headquarters building, nicknamed "Big Shorts". The skyscraper is not a traditional tower, but a continuous loop of five horizontal and vertical sections, creating an irregular grid on the building’s facade with an open center. With 389079 m2 of office space, the skyscraper is the largest office building in China and the second-largest in the world, after the Pentagon. In December 2008, there were 45 projects under construction and proposed in Beijing.
