The Chongqing International Trade and Commerce Center was first proposed in 2007 with construction eventually starting in 2012. However, in 2016 the construction slowed dramatically. In late 2019, construction eventually ramped up and the main tower topped out in July 2022.
The complex is slated for completion in 2023-24 and will feature office, residential, retail, and entertainment space to bring energy, activity, and value to the site.
