Zhuhai Shizimen CBD Phase 1

Zhuhai Shizimen CBD Phase 1

Zhuhai Shizimen CBD Phase 1 is a landmark mixed-use development project located in the Shizimen District of Zhuhai, China, encompassing a site area of 203,000 square meters. This ambitious architectural complex, completed in 2018, features the iconic 330-meter Zhuhai Centre tower, which stands as the city's tallest building, alongside a comprehensive array of facilities including a serviced apartment tower, hotel tower, exhibition and convention centre, theatre, and opera house. The development's design philosophy draws inspiration from Zhuhai's reputation as the 'city of romance' and its waterfront location, incorporating these elements through a distinctive ribbon-like architectural form that elegantly wraps around both open and enclosed spaces. The project demonstrates exceptional attention to sustainability and user comfort, implementing both active and passive environmental measures such as natural ventilation, strategic orientation, and advanced shading systems. The complex's Grade A office spaces, luxury accommodations including the St. Regis Hotel with 250 rooms, and state-of-the-art facilities such as the 1,200-seat theatre and 291,000-square-meter exhibition center have significantly elevated the region's social and economic landscape. The development, recognized with a Golden A' Design Award in the Construction and Real Estate Projects Design category, exemplifies innovative urban planning through its seamless integration of business, cultural, and leisure facilities, while maintaining a strong focus on creating comfortable, sustainable environments that enhance the quality of life for its users.
