#1.  Xindanwei Property

Xindanwei grows, so do our members. That’s why we have developed a plan to apply our people-powered approach among various of imaginative and extraordinary spaces and buildings around the city, in order to accommodate the growth of our members, allow more community participation and increase the the intensification of social and financial values for our community members.

The first release of Xindanwei Property is the Tai Kang Terrace, aka TK Terrace, at Taikang rd. area. It is a retail conversion of restored factories strung together. The spaces have been completely transformed to allow the customers and tenants to exist in a unique mix of indoor and outdoor space among many different levels of both indoor and outdoor spaces.
