Challenge
Benoy was tasked with the large-scale project of developing a unique destination where business and community come together. Parc Central had to be distinct to Guangzhou, contributing to the city’s wider vision of being recognised as a world-leading destination and host for international events.
Solution
Curving around an array of green spaces and set amongst the urban backdrop, the 110,000 m² mixed-use development comprises shopping, entertainment and dining facilities with sustainability at its core. To enable wide-spread access, Benoy introduced a public transport interchange.
Result
With its impressive atrium and bold design, Parc Central is a truly unique lifestyle destination. A blend of indoor and outdoor spaces complement the contemporary setting, providing local and international business professionals and the whole community with more points of discovery, all in the heart of Guangzhou’s new CBD. The project has been awarded the LEED Gold award.
