Taikoo Hui was a significant urban redevelopment effort in parallel to Guangzhou's emergence as a major metropolis of southern China. Positioned as a hub for leisure, entertainment, commerce, culture and arts, the Taikoo Hui shopping mall was the first location for many international luxury brands in the Cantonese region.
The 2qty Grade-A office towers attract a large number of Fortune 500 global companies for their southern-China operations
