The development of Li Dazhong has begun.

From June 5438 to February 2002, Hong Kong Xingye International Group obtained the land use right of Li Dazhong plot from Jing 'an District Government for HK$ 654.38+306 million. On June 28th, 2006, Swire Property, with a British background, purchased 50% of the rights and interests of Li Dazhong Development Project of Hong Kong Xingye International. The foundation pit excavation of the project was completed at the end of 20 12, and it is expected to be put into operation in stages from the second half of 20 16 to 20 17.

According to the management goal of Swire Property, the future Li Dazhong project will become one of the landmarks of Shanghai's top leisure and entertainment consumption. Regarding the prospect of this commercial gathering area with a total volume of nearly 300,000 square meters, Cha Mao Cheng, vice chairman and managing director of the project developer Hong Kong Xingye International, said that it will definitely surpass Xintiandi in the future. Hong Kong Xingye International is a subsidiary of Hong Kong famous industrialist Cha. The wife of Cha's second son, managing director and executive director of Hong Kong Xingye International, is Shi Meilun, former vice chairman of China Securities Regulatory Commission. Swire Property was founded in 1972 and is one of the subsidiaries of Swire Group in the UK. At present, the total construction area of its real estate projects in China has reached 1 10,000 square meters. In fact, Li Dazhong, which is only a stone's throw away from People's Square, can be said to be the most rare developable plot in the city center at present. On the scale of the project, only the Huaihai Middle Road project (formerly Xiangyang Road plot) with a total construction area of 390,000 square meters developed by another Hong Kong real estate giant Sun Hung Kai can compete with it. The first phase of the demolished Li Dazhong Project started ahead of schedule. The first thing to start is the protection building in Li Dazhong, which is the relocation project of the former CoCo Lee Middle School. After the protected building is moved to Weihai Road, it will be endowed with new vitality with the cooperation of the whole project in the future, and become a gateway symbol of Li Dazhong and a fashion landmark that inherits the historical context of Shanghai style.

This protected building was originally built by Qiu Xinshan and Qiu, the famous Shanghai pigment giants in the 1920s. It is also called Qiu's residence. At first, there were two buildings, one of which was demolished during the reconstruction of CoCo Lee Middle School in 1990s. The relocated building used to be the office building of CoCo Lee Middle School, and 1999 was rated as an excellent historical building in Shanghai. This is a garden house in the style of a European castle. Walking into this building, you can only see the tiles on the ground, the carved wooden stairs are very exquisite, and the European colonnade in the corridor is tall and imposing. The developer revealed that an ancient tree next to this building will also be protected.

According to reports, the whole translation project will be divided into five steps. First, the key parts of the building, such as external walls, columns, roof trusses, beams, etc., are reinforced and protected so that objects will not be damaged and deformed when moving; Then the bottom of the building is connected together to form a whole; The third step is the key replacement system engineering, which will cut off all the foundation columns of the old school building and move them to the newly erected track, and push them to translate with jacks; After the translation is completed, connect the bottom plate; Finally, the relevant protection departments will carry out repair and construction. The demolition project of Li Dazhong Project was basically completed by the end of 20 1 1. At the same time, the old hutongs demolished around it include Huashunli, Tianlefang and Baideli. Because of the size and influence of Li Dazhong, this place is called "Li Dazhong Base". According to the plot planning of Li Dazhong, the project consists of five towers and a skirt building. After completion and operation, its functions are mainly office, hotel and business (including two office buildings and three high-class hotels, and the skirt building is a commercial shopping center). The plot covers an area of 6.28 hectares, which is a comprehensive land for commercial office, with a plot ratio of 4.63. The above-ground building area will reach 29 1200 square meters, with a building height limit of 250 meters and about 1200 parking spaces. Li Dazhong project connects Nanjing West Road in the north, Shimen No.1 Road in the west (facing Four Seasons Hotel), Weihai Road in the south and Qinghai Road in the east (facing Shanghai Radio and Television Building). This is an urban complex integrating two Grade A office buildings, a shopping center, three hotels and serviced residences.
