The KK100, formerly known as Kingkey 100 and Kingkey Finance Tower, is a supertall skyscraper in Shenzhen, Guangdong. The mixed-use building rises 441.8 metres (1,449 ft) and contains 98 floors for office space and a hotel. Out of those 98 floors, 74 are used for 173,000 square metres (1,862,157 sq ft) of Class A office space, 26 stories for a 35,000 square metres (376,737 sq ft) six-star business hotel and the top four floors of the skyscraper hold a garden and several restaurants. The building has a height-width ratio of 9.5:1, thus becoming one of China's slimmest buildings.
