Coming to life with a 42-metre-tall botanical garden, interactive sports and culture, and a creative tenant mix, The Ring provides attractions not yet seen before in Chongqing.

Shougang Park Urban Weaving District 11 SKIES

design draws inspiration from Ningbo’s heritage, referencing the historic sloping roof house buildings. Shougang Park Urban Weaving District is a high-profile mixed-use urban regeneration masterplan that forms a gateway to the 2022 Winter Olympics site in Beijing. The project represents the opportunity to herald a new benchmark for regeneration in the city. Located on the western end of Chang’An avenue, the first phase of the development features the central retail precinct that forms the heart of the wider development. The overall scheme is a significant rejuvenation undertaking in the capital as the site transforms a 100-year-old Capital Steel Factory Park into a thriving multi-activity, retail-led destination. Comprehensive in its scope, the wider development will consist of retail, office, hotel, entertainment and a public transport interchange. 11 SKIES is a future HK$20 billion mixed-use destination located at SKYCITY. Conceived as Hong Kong’s largest hub for retail, dining and entertainment, and the first such development to also combine office space for the Greater Bay Area, the development will transform the land surrounding Hong Kong International Airport. The project will act as a super-regional connector accessible by air, sea and land via trains, cars and buses. Integrating an expansive transportation terminal to accommodate the influx of visitors from the newly constructed Hong Kong Zhuhai-Macau Mega Bridge and the Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok Link, 11 SKIES is positioned to play a key role in driving the future growth of the Greater Bay Area. It is scheduled to be completed in phases from 2022 to 2025, with retail, dining and state-ofthe-art entertainment facilities tailor-made for visitors and local residents of all ages.
