This large-scale transit-oriented development (TOD) integrated project sets a major milestone for the Group’s engagement in the development of the Greater Bay Area. ‘New landmark, new hub, new engine’ Boasting a gross floor area of about 9.3 million square feet, the International Commerce Centre project adjacent to Guangzhou South Railway Station will be developed into a large-scale integrated Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) landmark, serving commercial, residential and transportation purposes. The integrated TOD project will provide offices, a shopping mall, a hotel, residences, apartments and public transportation facilities. The International Commerce Centre project adjacent to Guangzhou South Railway Station, and the iconic International Commerce Centre (ICC) and integrated commercial project atop West Kowloon Terminus at Hong Kong sit at the two ends of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong High-speed Railway line. The Group will leverage the High Speed Rail connectivity and the synergy between the projects to develop a ‘new landmark’, which reinforces the linkage and collaboration of Hong Kong and Guangzhou. 坐落於廣州南站核心區的廣州環球貿易廣場項 目於去年 12 月底舉行動工活動，標誌著這個大 型 TOD 綜合體項目正式開工，為集團積極參與 大灣區建設，定下一個重要的里程碑。 「新地標、新樞紐、新引擎」 廣州環球貿易廣場項目總樓面面積約 930 萬平方呎，將以公共交通導向模 式發展為大型標誌性的綜合項目，集 商、住、行於一身，提供辦公大樓、 商場、酒店、住宅、公寓及公共交通 設施等。 廣州環球貿易廣場項目與地標性的香 港環球貿易廣場（ ICC ）和西九龍高鐵 總站上蓋商業綜合體項目，分別矗立 於廣深港高鐵線的兩端。集團將充分 發揮高鐵的聯通優勢和項目之間的協 同效應，打造穗港聯動、雙核驅動的 「新地標」。 廣州南站為大灣區軌道交通的「黃金樞 紐」，匯聚高鐵、城際和地鐵等多達 12 條線。廣州環球貿易廣場項目與廣州南 站「無縫連接」，勢將發展為宜居、宜 業、宜遊的國際一流灣區綜合體，吸引 更多企業和人才到廣州、番禺就業和生 活，推動港澳青年在內地的創新、創業 發展，成為體現粵港澳大灣區一小時生 活圈的「新樞紐」。 集團相信，憑藉過往在廣州成功打造天 環廣場、天匯廣場等一系列質素超卓項 目的經驗，廣州環球貿易廣場項目亦將 可推動當地經濟發展，協助廣州市成為 國際消費中心城市的「新引擎」。 The Guangzhou South Railway Station is strategically located in the Greater Bay Area rail transit network, offering 12 rail transit lines, including high-speed rails, intercity rail and metro lines. The International Commerce Centre project adjacent to Guangzhou South Railway Station, which enjoys seamless connection to the Guangzhou South Railway Station, will become a top international integrated complex with a premium environment to live, work and travel in the Greater Bay Area. The new landmark will pull in more businesses and talent to work and live in Guangzhou and Panyu. More young people from Hong Kong and Macao are expected to relocate to the mainland for innovation and start- up opportunities. All these will form a ‘new hub’, which embodies a one-hour living circle in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Riding on the previous development experience of Parc Central, Tianhui Plaza and a series of premium projects in Guangzhou, the Group believes that the International Commerce Centre project at Guangzhou South Railway Station will also bolster the local economy, serving as a ‘new engine’ to help Guangzhou transform into a global consumption centre city.
