Hengqin MixC World

Hengqin MixC World is a 50-billion-yuan mixed-use development in Zhuhai, China, with destination retail as a major anchor to create a dynamic new city centre. The project (due to be completed in 2018) will occupy a total gross floor area of over 2 million square metres, and will create over 50,000 jobs and generate nearly 1 billion yuan in tax revenue each year, further promoting the economic growth of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.

HEART OF THE MASTERPLAN
To realise this vision, a large central hub will be created to mark the nexus of the river and mountain geometries that surround the site. Named Experience Central Square, the hub will become the heart of the master plan, unifying four neighbourhoods and providing a vibrant retail and cultural destination.

The hub will mainly be used for various cultural activities and will serve as an art and performing centre and an outdoor multi-purpose venue. These entertainment attractions will generate footfall to support the Duty Free Mall, retail high street, and F&B outlets throughout the development.

In addition, a diverse mix of amenities will be constructed, including the Central Green Belt – MixC Avenue, Retail Axis, Waterfront Promenade, National Pavilions, Expo and Convention Centre.

GREEN INITIATIVES
Sustainable design is a key driver for the development’s master plan. The main objective is to minimise the project’s energy requirements through passive design. Another goal is to reduce the reflectance and light pollution generated by the project through maximising the solid areas of the tower façades. With the development’s proximity to the river, there are also plans to treat storm water through bio swales and create abundant garden spaces to achieve its an eco-responsible design.

Through these combined amenities and Green initiatives, Hengqin MixC World will transform the island into one of the most sustainable and integrated city centres in Southern China.
