The 980,000 square meters facility was developed in phases. Inaugurated in 2014, the first phase incorporates 98,000 square meters of convention and exhibition space, a 1,200-seat theatre, an 800-seat music hall, and a full range of banquet halls and function spaces. These are supported by a 548-key Sheraton Hotel and the 330-meter Zhuhai Tower, which accommodates a 250-key St Regis Hotel along with Grade-A office spaces. The subsequent phase opened in 2024, featuring twin towers with an additional 110,000 square meters of office spaces and a further 58,000 square meters of exhibition and convention facilities. Both phases are seamlessly connected by a ‘ribbon,’ an elevated indoor walkway that meanders throughout the site, linking all programs together.

The development’s towers are strategically placed along the waterfront to maximise tenant views and serve as a visual beacon, addressing the iconic towers of Macau and Hengqin Island across the shores. Designed for both economic advancement and public enjoyment, the facility also acts as a gateway between the city and the waterfront, offering stunning ocean views and diverse communal spaces for all to enjoy.

In the design team’s pursuit to create inviting public spaces, the development maximises its prime waterfront location with the sculptural building forms and extensive landscape features to create a dynamic public realm.

*Gordon Affleck was responsible for the original concept and led the design team from inception through to detail design whilst working as International Design Principal at RMJM. Soon after Gordon and his fellow partners founded 10 Design, Huafa Group appointed 10 Design to provide design consultancy on the façade design of the iconic tower and review services during the construction stage. 10 Design has later on won the international design competition for the second phase development.
