Tianfu International Community Set for Completion in October
CHENGDU, Feb. 1 /PRNewswire-Asia-AsiaNet/ --
Chengdu High-Tech Industrial Development Zone creates western China's first living area for foreigners
Chengdu High-Tech Industrial Development Zone announces that on February 1 Tianfu International
Community, the first large living area for foreigners in western China, is set to be completed and opened in
October 2010. The residential district, designed to meet housing needs of foreigners in Chengdu, will provide
world-class services ranging from high-tech offerings such as 3G mobile Internet connectivity to a range of
services including a church, Chinese-English bilingual kindergartens and doctors at western-style hospitals.
The 250,000-square-meter district site is 160mu (approximately 106,670 square meters), with a plot ratio of
0.9. The project consists of residences, hotels, businesses, bilingual kindergartens and churches, creating a
high-quality international residential district integrating living, shopping, entertainment and business. A series
of high-end international projects such as International Headquarters Business Park, International Shopping
Business District and International Convention Center are also being constructed along with Tianfu
International Community.
The project, co-designed by Canada's Zeidler Partnership Architects and Japan's Kume Sekkei,
demonstrates the architectural features of modernity, internationalization, fashion and environmental
conservation, while seeking to meet foreigners' living and cultural needs.
The Tianfu International Community is designed to create a "Chinese home" for foreigners. Chengdu is
seeing an increasing influx of foreigners and international companies/organizations, providing development
opportunities and prospects in Chengdu against the backdrop of global industrial structure adjustments. As of
the end of 2009, Chengdu's foreign residents came from more than 130 countries and regions, and the
number of foreigners and people from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan reached nearly 20,000. The figures are
now still on the rise.
The Tianfu International Community is located in the Chengdu Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone
(CDHT), which ranks 4th among all the 54
state-level hi-tech industrial development zones across China and first among all the hi-tech development
zones in central and western China in terms of overall competitiveness and is one of the six pilot parks
selected by China's central government for construction of world-class hi-tech development zones in the
country. As of October 2009, 863 foreign-invested enterprises, including 44 Fortune 500 and world-known
companies, such as Intel and Motorola, have invested in CDHT, with a total investment of US$9,174 million.
About the Tianfu International Community
Located in the heart of New Tianfu City in CDHT, the Tianfu International Community covers an area of
160mu (approximately 106,670 square meters). With a total floor area of 250,000 square meters, the
community will include three districts, Phase One and Two and a business district. It is designed to meet
foreign residents' requirements for a wide range of business services with world-class facilities. It will feature
Chengdu's first community church and first villa area designed for foreigners.
