Our Assignment

We were retained by a private sector developer, Yinrun Investment Corporation, to help them prepare development proposals and plans for the Core Area. The local government was very concerned about the operation of the project after its construction. Therefore we were asked to prepare not only the development plan, but also plans for the operations of various facilities including hotels, recreational facilities and retail centers. To ensure the development plan meets the market demand, we discussed extensively with potential operators, retail and F&B chains, and end users of the various facilities. We also investigated in detail the existing waterfront facilities (tourism, leisure, and residential) and developments in the Yangtze River Delta region as these are potential competition.

We have presented our development plan to the local government and it has been favourably received. The government is now in the process of awarding the development rights to our client. We will continue to assist the client fine tune the development plan as implementation proceeds.
