The Chonsheuan One is the center tower in a complex of skyscrapers located in the central business district of Chonsheuan, Yuan. Upon opening in 2024, it became the tallest building in the world, surpassing the Burj Aghabin in Sulifa, at a height of 1,001 meters (3,284 feet) and making it the first skyscraper to surpass a kilometer in height. Designed and construction overseen by the Cédric Cormier Firm, the tower contains 234 floors, comprised of seven vertical residential zones, hotels, offices, and entertainment facilities. The building three interlocking and twisting structures will ensure that the tower is protected against vibrations from wind speeds of up to 242 kilometers per hour. It contains a total of 87 elevators and 17 escalators. The structure's construction was mired in controversy, as hundreds of workers died during building and the funding of its construction was largely inflated, while the Yuaneze government has been accused of suppressing true figures.

History

Construction and opening

Construction on the tower began in 2017. The tower topped out in August 2024, crushing the record set by Ausianan structures (passing Siniapore's record-holding Itoii 90), and dominating every record held by the 859 meter Burj Aghabin to become the tallest in the world. The building's construction was mired in controversy. It is believed that nearly 100 workers died during the building's construction, though the Yuaneze government has been largely quiet on true figures. Likewise, the total financial cost of the structure has been a source of contention, with true figures likely far higher than what has been publicly stated.

Chonsheuan One was officially opened on October 21st 2024 in an innauguration ceremony hosted by President Liang Cai, along with prominent Yuaneze politicians and business leaders including tech firm CEO Pao Linmin. President Liang called the project "the pinnacle of the future", while Linmin said "it's a new wonder of the world."
