Local Economy

A new Beijing government initiative in 2019 named Chaoyang District as a “nightlife city”. It is also the first district in Beijing to receive a District Consumer Stimulus Work Plan for 2019-2021. The work plan encourages the business community to find new and innovative ways of building a night time economy.

With Taikoo Li Sanlitun being a landmark commercial development in the Chaoyang District, we supported the work plan in a number of ways:

• innovating and upgrading the development’s lighting and hardware in anticipation of more night time customers;
• optimising the lighting around the development, including constructing roof lighting facilities;
• hosting various government receptions to showcase our leadership in supporting the night economy; and
• highlighting the development as a landmark shopping destination of global influence and an international meeting ground which integrates a variety of cultural offerings.

Blueprint is a flex-space amenity offering workspace, event spaces and a F&B outlet.

Blueprint’s workspaces include a co-working area with 90 desks in an open plan configuration and 15 private offices of various sizes. Ten thousand sq ft of event facilities sit across an entire dedicated floor which includes an auditorium, a show suite and configurable conference rooms, all equipped with audio-visual equipment, and a 1,000 sq ft outdoor terrace.

In 2019, we supported the government’s “Space Sharing Scheme for Youth” by making 20 desks available to young entrepreneurs at a concessionary rate. In addition to offering physical space and amenities to support the young people’s ambitions, we also hope Blueprint can connect these young entrepreneurs to our diverse tenant base at Taikoo Place.
