Benoy’s new Alibaba Jiangsu Headquarters—a design led by Stephen Chow—will deliver an internet industry community based on the concept of smart architecture and will strongly support Alibaba’s localization and industrial chain development plans.
The development is set to become an interactive gathering destination for the leading e-commerce giant and a showcase of the offline experience Alibaba’s innovative businesses can offer.
The Alibaba Jiangsu Headquarters will be a major mixed-use development with a total investment value of over eight billion yuan.
Covering a construction area of 850,000 m², the scheme will accommodate approximately 30,000 people once it has been completed.
“This is an incredibly exciting win for Benoy. Alibaba Group is a revolutionary organization and to be a part of designing and shaping their future is a huge testament to the innovative and cutting-edge nature of Benoy’s Team,” said Stephen Chow, Director at Benoy and leader of the winning competition team.
