THE world’s first observation deck combined with holographic technology will be built on the top of the Shimao Shenzhen-Hong Kong International Center in the Universiade New Town area in Longgang District, the Shimao Group announced Tuesday.

The Shimao Shenzhen-Hong Kong International Center, covering an area of nearly 320,000 square meters and having floor space of nearly 1.36 million square meters, will become a new landmark in Universiade New Town and the eastern hub of the city, according to southcn.com.

The center also preserves the area’s natural landscapes. It will promote cooperation between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, gathering high-end resources and advancing innovation development, said the report.

Unlike traditional commercial complexes, the Shenzhen-Hong Kong international center plans to combine all major city functions in one place, including a global business center to be designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture (ASGG), world-renowned for its design of the Burj Khalifa, luxury hotels, international schools, high-end apartments, international exhibition centers, performance centers, libraries, galleries, the Shenzhen and Hong Kong youth cooperation and entrepreneurship centers, green squares and public bus stops.

The youth cooperation and entrepreneurship center will foster the transformation of research results, incubating high-tech companies. (Wang Jingli)
