The building was previously known as Guangzhou West Tower and had a related project, the proposed Guangzhou East Tower, which, at , would have been even taller, though that project has been awarded to a different design by Kohn Pedersen Fox, the Guangzhou CTF Finance Center.
The building was the winner of the RIBA 2012 Lubetkin Prize.
