"There is only one World Trade Center in a city"
At the economic and trade summit of Nanjing World Trade Center (WTC) held in Nanjing and the awarding ceremony of Nanjing World Trade Center, it was learned that the World Trade Center will also open to the west of Nanjing-the "Nanjing World Trade Center" building with a total investment of 5 billion yuan has been started and will be completed in the first phase of 20 14, with the highest height of 3 18 meters. The biggest difference is that among the 27 projects officially authorized by China World Trade Center Association (WTCA), the only one is invested by pure American capital, which is regarded as a sign that Nanjing will become an international metropolis.
Nanjing Hexi and Shanghai World Trade Center share the same door.
Coffey Boateng, Chief Operating Officer of the World Trade Center Association, introduced that WTCA was established in 1970, and is a non-profit and non-political international economic and trade organization, headquartered in new york, and known as the "Trade United Nations". It is understood that among 96 countries in the world, there are 320 authorized "World Trade Centers", but there is only one city. Generally, each World Trade Center only absorbs the best enterprises in the world, and each World Trade Center platform will generate hundreds of millions of dollars in transaction volume every year.
As far as China is concerned, there are already 27 World Trade Centers, but the Nanjing project is very different from the previous ones-most of the investors in other projects are from the local area, while the Nanjing project is a direct joint investment of Fulton Group of the United States and the real estate fund under Morgan Asset Management-Global Fixed Assets, headquartered in new york, with 65,438+000% American "lineage", which is the same as the New York World Trade Center. "This is the same in the world.
WTCA is located in Hexi, Nanjing, focusing on growth.
Why does WTCA value Nanjing so much? Fulton Group has more than 30 years of experience in real estate development, with an investment and development area of 2.5 million square meters in the United States and an amount of more than 2 billion US dollars. Why did you choose to build a building in Nanjing this time?
"Lot, lot, real estate is the primary consideration." Li Xinyi, Chairman of Fulton Group and Chairman of Nanjing World Trade Center, replied categorically. In his eyes, Nanjing is not just an ordinary provincial capital, but the most growing city in the Yangtze River Delta, with many embryonic forms of international cities. He introduced that the project was established in 2008 and has officially started, with a final total investment of 5 billion yuan.
"Shanghai-Nanjing high-speed railway is connected, and Nanjing to Shanghai only takes 1 more hours. The location is great. " He said excitedly that there are not only high-speed trains outside, but also subways in Nanjing. In addition, the intersection of Nanjing Metro Line 2 and Nanjing Metro 10 Line is only in Hexi except Xinjiekou. The building is located near Yuantong Station, the intersection of Hexi subway, aiming at "seamless connection" with Xinjiekou, Shanghai and even the whole Yangtze River Delta.
The deeper reason is the economic development of China. "Look at the United States in the 20th century and China in the 20th century." . Li Xinyi said that when the global financial crisis broke out in 2008, China's economy stood out, which strengthened the willingness of overseas funds to invest in China. Nanjing's emphasis on Hexi development and the planning orientation of Hexi financial CBD make Nanjing World Trade Center more attractive to overseas funds-"real estate investment depends on the future."
Besides being optimistic about China's economic growth, are there any other factors conducive to RMB appreciation? When the reporter raised this question at the meeting, Li Xinyi said it would be "decided by the market".
Nanjing World Trade Center is not the tallest building in Hexi.
It is reported that Nanjing World Trade Center will be completed before 20 14 Youth Olympic Games, and the height of 5A intelligent office building is 3 18m. Although this height has been "30 meters longer" than the planned height of 288 meters in 2008, it is still not the "tallest building" in Hexi. It was reported at the special conference in jianye district in 2009 that Suning will invest 5.8 billion yuan to build a 100-storey "Boai Building" with a total height of 450 meters. In addition, Hexi Sun Hung Kai Tower is planned to be nearly 300 meters, which is the third highest.
World's top fashion center
There is only one World Trade Center in a city. Why do cities attach so much importance to the World Trade Center? Long Yongtu believes that a good World Trade Center is more than just a building. What is more important is to give play to the role of platform and network to drive the economic development of the whole region. Experts attending the meeting also introduced that Nanjing's accession to the World Trade Center family is equivalent to directly sharing information and resources with 320 WTCA members.
According to Long Yongtu's analysis, a good World Trade Center will definitely play three roles: First, it will accumulate popularity and become a real business center, which is the favorite place of ordinary people in this city. Second, gathering talents has become the carrier of developing advanced service industry and manufacturing industry in this region. Third, gather wealth. "Like a clear spring in the desert, large financial institutions gather here to pull and radiate, turning the surrounding desert into an oasis." He hopes that the World Trade Center in Nanjing can promote the industrial upgrading and economic transformation of Nanjing and promote the economic prosperity of Nanjing as a whole.
For ordinary Nanjing people, the completion of the World Trade Center in Nanjing has given them another place to meet the forefront of world fashion. It is understood that "Nanjing World Trade Center" is located at the intersection of Hexi Avenue South and Lushan Road West, close to Yuantong Station of the subway. The project covers an area of 32,000 square meters, with a construction area of 430,000 square meters, including 5A Grade A intelligent office building, hanging garden serviced apartment, luxury boutique hotel, fashion life plaza and World Trade Friendship Association.
