Goettsch Partners and Lead8 Design Third Mixed-Use Complex
The globally renowned architecture firm Goettsch Partners (GP) has announced the start of construction for Changchun CR Center, a major mixed-use complex with a striking 300 meter (980 foot) tower in Changchun, the capital city of China’s northeastern Jilin Province. Designed by GP with international architecture and design firm Lead8, the project represents the third collaboration of the two design firms with developer-owner China Resources Land Limited, the previous two efforts leading to new city-making projects with multiple buildings and significant civic and economic impact in the Chinese cities of Wuhan and Hangzhou. In Changchun, GP is designing the main tower, and Lead8 is designing the retail and entertainment center.
