Asia Pacific & Middle East NEWSMAR-APR 2018 SEAB 19Hong Kong – Leigh & Orange (L&O) is
pleased to announce its appointment
to deliver the new Zhejiang World
Trade Center (WTC) in Hangzhou. The
original building was first established
in 1987, designed as a key venue to
facilitate foreign trade, during the
early years of the Chinese economic
reforms.
Bearing the concept of a transit
oriented development, or TOD, the new
design will help re-zone the existing
hotel-office-convention clusters, and
to inject a new commercial catalyst
for the business community.
Located in heart of the Huanglong
financial district, and close to the
famous scenic West Lake, the
project is primarily an underground
redevelopment with a total
construction area of 79,250 square
metres, including 24,700 square
metres of new commercial spaces. The basement retail will be
seamlessly connected to the metro forming a public gathering
space, a focal point for the surrounding community. Central to
the design is the concept of a “retail park”, where retail space
will be intertwined with two major circulation experience: an
indoor sport-themed arcade and an outdoor park trail. The
retail complex will also house two major anchors, a sports-
themed concept store and a major flagship bookstore.

be working on what is a very prominent scheme which will
help shape the future of Hangzhou’s Huanglong district. With
the upcoming 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou, we hope to
work hand-in-hand with Hangzhou Metro to transform this
into a world class mixed-used facility.”
Construction will begin in April 2018 and is expected to
