SEZ Press Tower is the headquarter building of the largest local newspaper . This 42-story (partially 47-story) tower proper is 168m high and 260m high to its mast. 9 through 40 stories are offices; 41 and 42 stories are designated to conference and club facilities; and, the 4-level-high podium houses exhibition space, restaurants, and a 700-seat auditorium.

The site is strategically located to the west of the CBD and adjacent to a main artery road of the city _ Shennan Boulevard. In response to future developments in new CBD, this basically modernistic tower also features such architectural vocabularies as tilted line, a globe, and ship like loggia which fit the client°Øs aspiration. The tower has a tube-in-tube structure. Its internal space can be partitioned freely. A flexibility that allows the floors to accommodate from large open layout to smaller units for sale. Every third floor there is a shared sky garden. An 12-meter-high board meeting room occupies the glass sphere. The ship-like loggia in front of the podium provides generous semi open outdoor space.
