Major projects have accelerated the construction in Changning District after the Chinese New Year, with the IBP Hongqiao Shangcheng, Crystal Bridge, and Hongqiao Talent Apartments (east plot) projects set for completion this year.
IBP Hongqiao Shangcheng
As of now, the main structure of IBP Hongqiao Shangcheng is complete, and the project's overall form is taking shape. The next steps involve initiating various inspections and starting the countdown to project completion and delivery in the third quarter.
The total construction area of the project is about 450,000 square meters, with about 170,000 square meters for business offices, 66,000 square meters for research facilities, 6,000 square meters for a cultural and sports center, and 11,000 square meters for commercial amenities. The project integrates diverse functions, connecting office, living, sports, and social spaces to offer a new experience for resident enterprises.
Crystal Bridge
The Crystal Bridge, a large-scale complex project in Changning, is currently pushing forward with curtain wall construction and interior finishing. The project topped out on January 21 and the team is now focused on completing the remaining construction tasks to ensure full completion by the end of September this year.
Located in the core of Hongqiao CBD, Crystal Bridge is at the intersection of Metro lines 2 and 15. The project covers a land area of about 35,600 square meters, with a total construction area of approximately 250,000 square meters.
It will be developed into a large TOD (transit-oriented development) business community integrating office, commercial, and leisure spaces. Through sky corridors, the complex cleverly connects five Grade A office buildings, seamlessly integrating with high-quality commercial spaces, a sky garden, and an open-air theater, creating a unique, innovative, and interconnected garden-style business environment.
