  • KPF Completes Landmark Office Tower in Shenzhen Located in the Houhai District, the China Resources Headquarters Is the Third Tallest Building in the City
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: KPF Completes Landmark Office Tower in Shenzhen Located in the Houhai District, the China Resources Headquarters is the third tallest building in the city. New York, New York – January 3, 2019 – Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF) is pleased to announce the completion of the China Resources Headquarters, a 400 meter tall commercial office tower located in the Houhai District of Shenzhen. The building anchors the KPF-planned development that stitches together a number of uses – retail, residential, and office amenities – with 2,000 square meters of public space and the city’s greenbelt and waterfront. As a whole, the tower and complex invigorate Shenzhen’s urban fabric while providing one of the country’s premier companies with a visual icon symbolizing its historic growth and prominent stature. The building’s opening was celebrated by representatives from KPF and China Resources, which also celebrated its 80th anniversary. “It was an honor to work on this headquarters tower with China Resources, one of the nation’s oldest and most important companies,” said KPF President James von Klemperer. “The conical tower design shows a geometric boldness that reflects China Resources’ pride in their past and confidence in the future. By marking the skyline, it will be one of the most recognizable buildings of Shenzhen, China’s leading technology city.” Inspired by the shape of the winter bamboo shoot, China Resources Headquarters features a light yet stable tube and diagrid structural system that is expressed in its tapered, sculptural form. Rendered in pre-fabricated column and steel units, the system affords column-free interiors, in turn allowing greater expression of the tower’s radial symmetry and more boutique floorplates as it rises.

    PROMISE AND POTENTIAL: REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRENDS IN THE GREATER BAY AREA JUNE 2019 TABLE OF CONTENTS 2 Introduction 3 Part 1: The Greater Bay Area – A Brief Summary 7 Part 2: Increasing Property Investment Activity in Guangzhou and Shenzhen 19 Part 3: What is Supporting the Office and Retail Sectors in Guangzhou and Shenzhen? 25 Part 4: Investment Opportunities in Guangzhou and Shenzhen 33 Conclusion 1 | CUSHMAN & WAKEFIELD INTRODUCTION Nearly two years after the initial announcement of an ambitious plan to transform the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), consisting of nine Guangdong Province cities and two Special Administrative Regions (Hong Kong and Macao) into a global economic powerhouse, the Chinese Central Government followed through in formally releasing a blueprint for the region in February 2019. While the blueprint did not offer much in the way of new details, it was nonetheless welcomed as a signal of the government’s continued commitment to drive economic growth in the area. And despite the lengthy wait for the blueprint, investor and developer interest in the region has steadily grown in the past two years since the initial announcement. Unsurprisingly, much of the interest has focused on Shenzhen and Guangzhou, the two Tier-1 cities in the GBA that fall under the plan, given their relatively mature economies and close proximity to Hong Kong. In this report, we take a high-level look at 1) growing property investment interest in Shenzhen and Guangzhou; 2) what supports the office and retail sectors in the two cities; and 3) investment opportunities there.
