Jinta is an all-steel super high-rise building. Its exterior design incorporates traditional Chinese elements, featuring a sail-like shape with a slightly smaller base, a slightly wider middle, and upper floors that taper gradually. The exterior glass curtain wall uses a vertically pleated, origami-inspired design, giving the massive structure an exceptionally light and graceful appearance.
Jinta is not only a landmark office building in Tianjin but also the tallest building north of the Yangtze River in China, ranking 26th in the world. In 2011, the building was awarded the California Structural Design Award in the United States.
