Since the beginning of 2022, the Haikou Jiangdong New Area (JDNA) has made great efforts in promoting the construction of major high-quality, high-efficiency projects while the development and construction of the park have seen great acceleration.
From January to November, 66 new projects were started and 36 projects were completed. The JDNA Enterprise Port, the one-stop aircraft maintenance base, and the SF Hainan International Fresh Port were from the completed projects. The main structures of eight projects including the Jiangdong International Energy Centre, the Haikou Financial Centre, the Datang Headquarters Project, and the Jiangdong Huandao Experimental School were completed.

The Jiangdong International Energy Centre project is a three-star "green building" designed by master architect Yao Renxi from the KRIS YAO | ARTECH. The project covers an area of 11,296 square meters. The building has a total height of 80 meters with 17 m above ground and two stories underground which will mostly be used for offices and commercial purposes such as a comprehensive trading platform for energy companies.
The Haikou Financial Centre
The Haikou Financial Centre by master architect Zhou Kai from Tianjin covers an area of 20,053 sq m which will offer office spaces and underground car parks. The project consists of six individual buildings with either four, five, or 12 floors. What is unique about this project is that the buildings are prefabricated. The project will be divided into areas A and B with a maximum building height of 60 m.
The SDIC Ecological Environment Building
The SDIC Ecological Environment Building covers an area of 11,933 sq m with a building height of 30 m. The project is positioned as a headquarters building in the Haikou JDNA with a total investment of 630 million yuan. Keeping in line with the JDNA zero carbon new city model, the design of the building is unique with 50 percent of the roof area being covered in photovoltaic panels.
Other major projects in the Haikou JDNA
The area hosts a number of international service facilities such as the British Harrow School, as well as an affiliated school of the Beijing Normal University, Huandao School, and Guilin Yang University City.
The campuses of colleges and universities are located within comprehensive functional areas that include the consulate area, an international consumption boutique exhibition centre, and an urban cultural exhibition area which have been built to stimulate the vitality of urban development.
Headquarters CBD of JDNA has a planned area of 1.79 sq km, creating a world-leading fourth-generation ecological CBD.
Ecological Advantages of the Headquarters Economic Zone
The JDNA is creating a world-leading ecological CBD in the headquarters economic cluster area, building a pioneering, zero-carbon new city where people and nature can "coexist, integrate, and share".
1. Narrow roads and a dense network: The above-ground planning adopts a narrow road and dense network structure to create a multi-component complex block with pedestrian traffic as the mainstay. JDNA strictly controls the architectural style of the area, placing landmark buildings in the core area, and maintaining a limit on the overall building height.
2. Development of underground space: For the contiguous comprehensive development of underground space, JDNA relies on rail transit stations to form three-dimensional complex, interconnected, vibrant underground blocks, forming an intensive spatial pattern with shared facilities, and smooth connection between core areas.
3. JDNA emphasizes ecological security by strictly controlling the 200-m coastline setback space, setting up the Furong River and Daomeng River Wetland Parks on the east and west sides, and introducing wetlands into the city to form a flood and tide safety protection circle around the ecological CBD.
4. JDNA is building a zero-carbon new city by promoting regional central cooling projects to reduce overall energy consumption. Through a series of planning and implementation measures, JDNA is developing the area into a zero-carbon new city demonstration zone.
