A groundbreaking ceremony was held today for Sun Hung Kai Properties Limited’s (SHKP) integrated commercial complex in Qingsheng, Nansha, Guangzhou, a strategic development in the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area. Officiating guests included Cai Chaolin, member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Guangzhou Municipal Committee and Party Secretary of the CPC Nansha District Committee, Dong Ke, Deputy Party Secretary of the CPC Nansha District Committee and District Mayor, and Adam Kwok, Executive Director of SHKP. 

SHKP’s total investment in the project is expected to reach RMB6 billion. Qingsheng, Nansha is strategically located in the heart of the Greater Bay Area within the China (Guangdong) Pilot Free Trade Zone and Nansha enjoys being the only sub-centre of Guangzhou. It is also well served by transport infrastructure, which includes a port terminal, a High Speed Rail station, a metro station, highways, and the Nansha Bridge, which opened in early April this year. The site adjoins Qingsheng Station of the Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong Express Rail Link and that of Guangzhou Metro Line 4. Two planned lines (Line 22 and the Zhinan Line) will also have a stop there. Going from Qingsheng Station to Guangzhounan Railway Station on the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link takes only 13 minutes. Going to Shenzhen takes half an hour, and a trip to the Hong Kong West Kowloon Station, atop of which sits SHKP’s another landmark development, the International Commerce Centre (ICC), takes only one hour.

The Qingsheng area is well suited for transit oriented developments (TOD) and will be a transport hub for the northern part of Nansha, conveniently linked to the Guangzhou Higher Education Mega Centre, the Pearl River Delta and Hong Kong. It is designed to be Nansha’s core district for industries including artificial intelligence, internet technology, creative, and technological research. 

To be developed based on the TOD model, SHKP’s Qingsheng integrated complex will have iconic office buildings, a large shopping mall and a public greening and leisure area. Seamlessly connected to the Express Rail Link and the Guangzhou Metro Line, it also features a transport interchange concourse, a long-distance passenger station and a public transport terminus. The entire project will have a gross floor area of about 327,000 square metres. 

Addressing the ceremony, Dong Ke, Deputy Secretary of the CPC Nansha District Committee and District Mayor of Nansha District, said, “Today marks the commencement of the construction of the Sun Hung Kai Properties’ integrated commercial complex, the first Guangdong–Hong Kong joint project in Qingsheng of the Nansha Free Trade Zone. Tying in with the strategic blueprint of the Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area, the project is another milestone in the opening-up of Nansha, a strategic move to seize opportunities in the Greater Bay Area to develop high-quality projects.”

SHKP Executive Director Adam Kwok said SHKP is committed to Building Homes with Heart, providing quality living areas in Hong Kong and on the mainland. The Group has actively participated in the country’s reform, urban upgrading and transformation, developing landmark integrated projects in prime locations in first-tier cities.

Mr Kwok added that SHKP would make its best efforts to develop the Qingsheng complex into another landmark in the Greater Bay Area, serving as the transport hub and offering superb industry–city integration.
