Following a design competition, Woods Bagot’s Beijing studio has been announced the winner of a benchmark mixed-use development for Gemdale Group located on Haigeng Road, Kunming.
According to Woods Bagot official website: “The vision for the 256,800m² development is to establish a new lifestyle center for Kunming, becoming the ultimate destination. Featuring human-scale retail streetscape designed to encourage exploration and interaction, it will create a central gathering place for the region throughout the seasons.”
They added: “Inspired by the natural form and landscape of a green valley, the site will have a sustainable community, continuous connectivity and an environmentally friendly atmosphere married with mixed-use components such as offices, retail, residential and supporting facilities.”
“We are excited to be working on this design,” says Director Jean Weng. “This is a significant project and will help to position Kunming as the center of the South Asia region.”
“Gemdale is a progressive organisation, focused on sustainable development, value-creation and innovation. They have embraced our design scheme for these factors and we have been working collaboratively to bring this landmark lifestyle development to the community.”
The Woods Bagot project team is currently crafting the concept design for Gemdale Group, one of China’s top four real estate developers with over 24 years of experience in property development.
