The Kingkey 100 (Chinese: 京基100), whose former name is Kingkey Finance Center Plaza, is a supertall skyscraper in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, China. It is located in Shenzhen's Luohu District in an area which can be described as the financial district.
The mixed-use building is set to rise 441.8 metres (1,449 ft) and contain 100 floors for office space and a hotel.[2][4] Out of those 100 floors, 68 contain 173,000 square metres (1,862,157 sq ft) of Class A office space, 22 stories for a 35,000 square metres (376,737 sq ft) six-star business hotel and the top four floors of the skyscraper holds a garden and several restaurants.[4][5] The building's lower levels feature the KK Mall, which opened its doors November 26, 2010, and contains luxury brand stores, restaurants and a supermarket.[6] The KK Mall also hosts Shenzhen's first IMAX cinema.
