The building is located within the Central Business District of Shenzhen in Futian. Its Script error: No such module "convert". lot was purchased by Ping An Group via auction at a price of 1.6568 billion RMB on 6 November 2007. Design of the building began in 2008 with Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates providing the architectural design and Thornton Tomasetti providing structural design.[4] Its foundation stone was laid on 29 August 2009, and construction started in November the same year. China Construction First Building Group was hired as the general contractor to construct the building.[4]

In March 2013, the construction process was temporarily halted, due to the suspected use of concrete made with unprocessed sea sand, which could corrode the steel structure.[10] Construction resumed on the building after sample testing.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

On the morning of 15 July 2014, upon a Script error: No such module "convert".-long steel column being lifted to place, the skyscraper exceeded Script error: No such module "convert". in height, surpassing the KK100 Tower to become the tallest building in Shenzhen.

The building was topped out on 30 April 2015, and became the second tallest skyscraper in China at a height of Script error: No such module "convert".. The original plan was to add a Script error: No such module "convert".-long antenna atop the building to surpass the Shanghai Tower and become the tallest building in China. However, in February 2015, it was decided that the antenna would not top the tower due to the possibility that it might obstruct flight paths.[11][12][13]

Climbing attempts

The Ping An Financial Center building has been the subject of frequent rooftopping attempts. In January 2015, daredevil Malaysian photographer Keow Wee Loong climbed the then incomplete building and released video footage and a photo taken from a crane at the tower's top.[14][15]

The structure was subsequently climbed during the period of the Chinese New Year on 19 February 2015 by two Russian and Ukrainian urban explorers, Vadim Makhorov and Vitaly Raskalov from Ontheroofs, who further climbed out to a crane above the under-construction tower and documented their ascent with video and photos.[16][17]

Previous status

Low occupancy

According to South China Morning Post, almost 30 percent of the office space remained empty in the second quarter of 2019.[18]
