Shangri-La Centre Ulaanbaatar is a mixed-use hotel and commercial complex located in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The complex consists of three main buildings and a shopping mall, from which the Tower C completed in 2016 is the tallest building in Mongolia standing at 120 meters (390 ft) tall, being divided into 24 floors. Tower A stands at 91.5 meters (300 ft) tall and Tower B at 108 meters (354 ft) tall, both equally divided into 24 floors.[3] The shopping mall is located in the middle of the tower's base floors.[5][6]

History

Architecture

The entire complex was planned to be completed in two phases. The first one completed in 2014 was portraited by Tower A, the 91-meter high 275-room hotel. The second phase of the complex was planned to be completed between 2015 and 2016 and aimed to consist of Tower B, the 108-meter office building, Tower C, the 120-meter high hotel with 300 rooms and the five-storey shopping mall. The entire project is owned by the Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts company, the investment rising to the costs of 500 million dollars.[4]

In September 2014, a fire broke out at Tower A while it was still under construction. The fire was successfully extinguished after two hours with no injuries or casualties reported.[7]
