Skyscraper construction started in Shenzhen in 1979, at a time when the tallest building in the city was five stories tall. In the next decade, 300 high-rises were erected in the city, including the Guomao Building. It was the city's first skyscraper and was the tallest building in mainland China upon its opening in 1985. As Shenzhen's highrise construction boom progressed into the 1990s, the skyscrapers erected in the city became taller. In the decade spanning from 1996 to 2006, 18 buildings taller than 200 m (656 ft) were completed. The tallest of these is the Diwang Building (Shun Hing Square), the city's first building to exceed 300 m (984 ft) in height. Most of Shenzhen's skyscrapers are concentrated in the Luohu, Futian and Nanshan districts, where most of the skyscrapers are now located in the city. Shenzhen's skyscraper boom is attributed to the its status as one of the fastest growing cities in the world.
