OPEN CHENGDU INTERNATIONAL FINANCE SQUARE

Chengdu International Finance Square (Chengdu IFS) occupies the most coveted location within the Chunxi Road’s core business district in the heart of Chengdu. It is at the intersection of the city’s two main bustling arteries: Hongxing Road and Dacisi Road.

With overall gross floor area exceeding 760,000 square metres, Chengdu IFS is a landmark development: not only is it the leading elite fully integrated complex in the central business district of western China, it is also one of the most popular one-stop-shop flagship high-end retailing landmarks.

Chengdu IFS complex has been conceived to be a “City within the City”. It consists of flagship shopping mall, Premium Grade-A office buildings, five-star hotel, and luxury residential.

The flagship shopping arcade of Chengdu IFS measures 210,000 square metres and covers six levels and two underground levels. It features seamless connection with Chunxi Road Station, the interchange hub of Chengdu’s Metro Lines 2 and 3 and close to 300 top-tier international brands of which 90 of them just made their debuts in Chengdu.

They include a host of the best known international luxury and lifestyle brands, leading designer fashion labels, jewellery and luxury watch brands, skincare and cosmetics centre, Lane Crawford Department Store, trendy eateries featuring international cuisines, a large ice-skating rink, UA Cineplex (IMAX), and a chapel.

The proposal aims to celebrate the city by amplifying the spirit of the street. At the same time, innovative and international ideas are being injected to create a new financial, cultural, leisure and entertainment hub.  With the mixed-use program catering for a wide range of customers, users and visitors, this hub will redefine the lifestyle of the people.  It is envisioned that this will become a new Landmark destination for the people of Chengdu.

The retail podium will offer luxury and flagship retail, entertainment and food and beverage terrace featuring international cuisine and al fresco dining.

Inheriting the Group’s corporate social responsibility philosophy, Chengdu IFS is launching an art and charity crossover event that will attract worldwide attention. Chengdu IFS has collaborated with world-renowned artist Lawrence Argent to build the unprecedented outdoor giant panda art installation in Chengdu, to raise public awareness of the protection of pandas.

The world's biggest 15-meter tall outdoor giant panda with the theme of "I Am Here" has been installed for Chengdu IFS. Currently clinging to the exterior of Chengdu IFS, the gigantic panda has not only drawn both city wide and international attention. To strengthen the public’s awareness of the conservation for pandas, Mr. Argent has also created twenty 40-centimeter-tall.

The curator AllRightsReserved, together with famous photographer Leslie Kee and the creative consultant Sean Kunjambu have invited 20 world-renowned artists and trendsetters to design the unique panda sculptures, and will be exhibited in the “HE-ART for PANDA Charity Auction Exhibition” in Chengdu IFS.
