The city of Ningbo, in the People's Republic of China, was planning to build two 480-metre tall twin towers called the Ningbo Twin Towers in the central core of the city. The buildings were estimated to have a construction cost over 600 million US dollars, and were planned to be completed in late 2008.
As of June 2009, the project has been cancelled.
