Chengdu Poly Times Commercial Development is Set to be a New Crown Jewel for Hong Kong

Chengdu Poly Times Commercial Development by JATO Design International Limited is set to be a new crown jewel for Hong Kong once it opens in the spring of 2023.

The development is planned to be part of a major city transformation. The 298,000m² mega mixed-use plot is located at the heart of Jinniu District and will include a mixture of commercial podiums, Grade-A office towers and SOHO lofts. Terraces and gardens will be connected by a city sky walk. In terms of cladding, over 40% of the exterior will be surrounded by local granite.

The design will be surrounded by Chengdu’s traditional business and trade industry. The west side comprises the Shawan business district, while the east side houses the Lotus Pond business area. Located at the junction of the Second Ring Road and Fu River, the inspiration for the design came from the idea of a traditional weaving technique, which is used commonly in textiles.

In the early stage of the design, considering that the locations of the plots are too scattered, it will be necessary to use a central main road as a continuous axis to form a connection between the residential and commercial plots. A 375-metre-long public garden will also be created, with a variety of plants covering a 16-metre-high overhead bridge. Different activity and leisure areas will be used to reconnect the scattered plots.
