Shenzhen’s Mission Hills Centreville
With an overall investment of more than RMB 5 billion, Mission Hills Centreville will cover a total construction area of 500,000 square meters and is expected to open in 2014. With its strategic location along Shenzhen’s central axis and the area’s only H.O.P.S.C.A. (hotel, offices, parks, shopping malls, convention and apartments) development, this hallmark development will be accessible to over 20 million affluent households and 15 million visitors each year to the Pearl River Delta Region. It is also the first major scale construction project announced since the Longhua New District of Shenzhen was formed.
