China Diamond Exchange Center

The China Diamond Exchange Center, designed by Goettsch Partners (GP), is a 50,000-square-meter office building in Shanghai’s Pudong district, the city’s modern financial and commercial hub. The 15-story building provides space for members of the China Diamond Exchange, as well as other related and speculative tenants.

The building is conceived as two rectangular office slabs connected by a skylit atrium, with a large, 66- by 230-foot cable-supported net wall at each end. One tower is fully dedicated to the Diamond Exchange members, with the adjacent tower serving other tenants. The relatively narrow, 20-meter-wide floor plate of each tower is unique, working in combination with the atrium to bring daylight to all offices.
