The storage buildings at Guangzhou Mechanical Engineering Research Institute in Yuzhu are set to be transformed into a green community that integrates scientific research, leisure office areas and residences.
The project involves an area of 15.78 hectares bordering a nanotechnology research institute in the east, Hulin Road in the south, Maogang Road in the west and Guangyuan Express Road in the north. Tram Line 7 is only 600 meters away.
An aggregated zone for high-tech industries, the area will feature industrial clusters backed by office, R&D, convention, business and leisure facilities.
Based on a "Sponge City" concept, the project will retain the area's mountainous park and make full use of aerial landscaping platforms, rooftop spaces and aerial walkways to create a multi-tiered green community.
About 5,000 people in 1,500 households will live in the community, with a kindergarten, stores, and parks in the vicinity.
