A MASSIVE new MixC shopping complex is slated to open in Longhua District in 2027, marking the latest collaboration between developer China Resources Land and Shenzhen Metro.

The project, designed by international firms acme and MAD Architects, will be connected to Shenzhen North Station — the largest railway hub in the city — and the Metro station on three existing lines via underground walkways.

With the major architecture and interiors designed by U.K.-based firm acme, and Ma Yansong’s MAD Architects responsible for an exhibition hall and a 160,000-sqm park surrounding the project, the complex integrates retail, office, and residential apartments, enhancing its appeal as a transit-oriented development (TOD).

Longhua’s demographic profile includes a young, affluent workforce, with median household incomes supporting mid-to-upper tier retail. The expected tenant mix will likely mirror the MixC brand’s focus on international luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton and Gucci, alongside mid-range options like Uniqlo and Zara, complemented by diverse dining outlets, entertainment venues, and experiential retail to attract families and young professionals.

The new mall reportedly plans to introduce over 380 brands, including a supermarket, beauty outlets, fashion retailers, and a wide array of dining options. The upper levels will feature entertainment facilities such as cinemas and KTVs.
