Transportation network nearby the project is convenient, with close proximity to Yangang Station of Line Phase 2, which is under construction, as well as Nanshi Lu Station of Metro Line 11 which is at its planning stage. The region where the land parcels are situated has been positioned as the "Engine of Haizhu West, and the Harbour of Vitality in Guangzhou and ".

The land parcels are where Guangzhou Paper Group was previously located. Guangzhou Paper Group was a large-scaled enterprise, and was connected with Yuexiu Property because they had the common parent company, Guangzhou Yuexiu Group Company Ltd. Guangzhou Paper Group was founded in 1936, and its old site had been dubbed “Paper City” by the people in Guangzhou as it carried collective memories of the good old days among several generations of the people in the city. Guangzhou Paper Group was relocated to Nansha District in 2011 as part of Guangzhou’s environmental campaign. The site left behind was designated as one of the key projects in the “Urban Redevelopment” of Guangzhou.

The management of Yuexiu Property said, the cooperation with Greenland Group and Ping An Group in developing the two land parcels in Guangzhi is a timely move to expand quality land bank under the strategy of “Home base in Guangzhou and strategic expansion nationwide” and in accordance with the business expansion strategy of “returning to tier-one and tier-two cities”. The Guangzhi land parcels are large, rare and premium lands that can be found in the downtown area of Guangzhou in recent years. They reflect Yuexiu Property’s advantage in acquiring quality lands in Guangzhou. The Group’s land bank in Guangzhou now exceeds 6.50 million sq.m., accounting for 42% of the total land bank, which further strengthened the Company’s strategic position in the “home base” of Guangzhou.

The management said, this is the first time for Yuexiu Property to jointly develop property projects with two Fortune 500 companies, Greenland Group and Ping An Group. The alliances will allow the partners to fully capitalize on their respective advantages such as resources for property development and brand influence, and lead to successful development of the land parcels. As the competition in the PRC’s real estate market intensifies, cooperation between heavyweights in the real estate market has become an effective means of strengthening cooperation between real estate enterprises, and creating win-win situations. In recent years, the Company has cooperated with investment funds, Guangdong Poly Property Development Limited and Guangzhou Guangdian Property Development Group Co., Ltd., through which the Company has achieved effective integration of resources and complementing of competitive edges. The Company's current cooperation with Greenland Group and Ping An Group is an innovative mode of cooperation for the Company in recent years, which helps the company to achieve rapid and steady expansion and enhancement in operation quality. In the future, the Company will continue to deepen the mode of cooperation with its partners to establish long-term partnerships beneficial to both parties and also actively explore new ways to develop.
