Taikoo Hui Guangzhou () represents a comprehensive mixed-use project located in Tianhe District, Guangzhou, China. Spanning 358,000 square meters, this development features an expansive indoor shopping mall housing more than 180 retail outlets and dining establishments, alongside two premium Grade-A office buildings. It also includes Guangzhou's inaugural five-star Mandarin Oriental Hotel, serviced apartments, and a dedicated cultural centre. The design was crafted by the American architectural firm Arquitectonica, while the Hong Kong–based company Swire Properties is responsible for both development and management.
Location and accessibility
Positioned close to the intersection of Tianhe Road and Tianhe East Road, Taikoo Hui provides 718 parking spots and offers direct connections to Guangzhou Metro lines 1 and 3 through the nearby Tianhe Sports Center Station and Shipaiqiao Station.
History
The origins of Taikoo Hui trace back to 2001 when Swire Properties (holding 55%) partnered with Guangzhou Daily (holding 45%) by signing a Memorandum of Understanding to develop a multi-functional complex within Guangzhou’s Tianhe District. In 2002, both parties committed to a 4 billion investment aimed at constructing the "Taikoo Hui – Guangzhou Daily Group Cultural Plaza." By 2004, Swire Properties had increased its ownership stake in the project to 97% following a revised joint venture agreement.
The complex officially commenced operations on 23 September 2011. Subsequently, in January 2013, the Mandarin Oriental Hotel & Serviced Residences began welcoming guests within the development.
In August 2024, Guangzhou Taikoo Hui successfully acquired the Guangzhou Cultural Center (Unit 101, 387 Tianhe Road) through a public auction. This property encompasses roughly 655,000 square feet and is directly linked to the existing mall. Plans are underway to transform this space into an upscale retail extension, with completion anticipated by 2026.
