S.I.P. TIMES SQUARE

Located on the east bank of JingJi Lake and on the east-west axis of Suzhou City, the new Suzhou Industrial Park Times Square is the heart of fashion and entertainment district. There are 24 buildings and a giant sky canopy within the total 6 city blocks including Office Towers, Retail Shops, Restaurants, Entertainment and Shopping Mall.

SWA is providing the landscape design for all six-block areas with a total 18.2 hectares. The program includes canal waterfronts, green corridor, shopping promenade, streetscapes, outdoor spaces, outdoor dining, music plaza, family grove, playing area, water features, pedestrian bridges, bus shelter and many more.
