Nanjing Jinxiang Group and Wangfujing Group will jointly build a 260,000 sqm high-end commercial complex featuring the first Wangfujing store in east China.
Jinxiang City Wangfujing Shopping Center, at Nanjing Bridge North, is a CNY5 billion (US$753.4 million) project and is expected to open in 2018. The centre will integrate F&B, entertainment, themed department stores and an Imax cinema. It will introduce 16 main retail outlets, including a hypermarket, commercial pedestrian street, gym, dining, skating rink, video games, KTV and a theatre.
Covering 55,000 sqm, the 460m, four-floor indoor pedestrian street is believed to be the longest and largest structure of its type in Nanjing.
There will also be more than 1700 parking spaces for cars, with more than 10,000 spaces for other vehicles – also a record for the city.
