Location: Qianhai district and China?s Greater Bay Area, Shenzhen, China

Leading urban design and architecture practice Farrells has unveiled its recently completed One Excellence development, in the heart of Shenzhen?s new Qianhai district and China?s Greater Bay Area. The project totals 757,000 sqm and sets a global precedent for future mixed use, high-density urbanism ? with social and green space at its heart.
