With a planned floor area of about 8 square kilometers and a planned construction area of approximately 26 million sq m, the international financial city has entered a new phase of operation following top-out on Dec 31, 2024.

The start-up zone and eastern industrial plots within the financial city currently have a total of 58 industrial land parcels available for sale. Of them, 43 have already been sold with a total construction area of approximately 3.5 million sq m.
