TaiKoo Hui is the first mixed-use development by Swire Properties in Guangzhou. The shopping mall at TaiKoo Hui has a gross floor area of 1.3 million square feet. Apart from the retail portion, TaiKoo Hui consists of two office towers, a cultural center, and a luxurious hotel managed by the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group. Taikoo Hui is designed to include a combination of arts and cultural facilities with retail and commercial spaces in a single integrated development.
Targeting the medium to high-end consumer market, the shopping mall will introduce an array of international premium brands. Some of the brands and stores are newcomers to the Guangzhou market, including the Ole’ Supermarket of China Resources Vanguard Limited, and the Food Republic of BreadTalk from Singapore.
To be completed in 2010, before the opening of the Asian Games, the shopping mall will be managed by Swire Properties. Key shopping malls developed and managed by Swire Properties include Pacific Place, Festival Walk and Cityplaza.
