The Alibaba Jiangsu Headquarters will deliver an internet industry community based on the concept of smart architecture and will strongly support Alibaba’s localisation and industrial chain development plans. The development is set to become an interactive gathering destination for the leading e‑commerce giant and a showcase of the offline experience Alibaba’s innovative businesses can offer.
The Alibaba Jiangsu Headquarters project is a major mixed-use development located in Nanjing, China. The client intends to showcase Alibaba’s collaboration with its business partners across the ecosystem in the form of a service park. The Alibaba Jiangsu Headquarters and Industrial Park consists of office towers, headquarters office, Ali-hub, retail and service apartments. The design has evolved from its original volume to a new level of urban redevelopment. Benoy has enriched the city’s streetscape and injected dynamism into the areas surrounding the road, creating a sunken plaza and linking the metro to the new development, giving the surrounding urban area a new look. The project also uses angled layouts to ensure optimal light from north to south, while adjusting the height of the buildings to create the most optimum views. The project also incorporates green spaces on the Ali-Link (bridges) at all levels, creating a garden in the sky.
Completion of the first phase of the development is due in 2025.
