At the request of the Rose Rock Group, the Bjarke Ingels Group in collaboration with HKS, Inc. and Arup Group, came up with a design for the proposed $2.35 billion building.[5] The Architect's Newspaper said of the design, "Renderings show a terraced pyramidal tower with a palpable vertical thrust and clear reference to the Art-Deco stylings of its inspiration, the Rockefeller Center in New York."[5] The proposed center would have six buildings.[7] The Rose Rock Group was founded by Steven C. Rockefeller Jr., Steven C. Rockefeller III, who are members of the Rockefeller family, and Collin C. Eckles.[5] The Rose Rock Group and Tianjin Finance Investment Co created the Rose Rock (Tianjin) Equity Investment Fund Management Co. in August 2011 to secure money to construct Rose Rock IFC.[8]
Reuters said in 2018 that Rose Rock IFC typified Tianjin's troubles in that the building still had not been constructed and had become a rose garden.[3]
