Jinshan District is building an environmentally friendly industrial, which will become the ninth such municipal-level zone in Shanghai.
The Jinshan Industrial Zone will cover 58 square kilometers when all three phases of construction are complete. The first phase is already under construction, but officials said they don't know when the third phase will be completed.
The zone, which will also house a residential community, was designed similar to the Suzhou Industrial Zone in Jiangsu Province, which has lots of grass and trees and international standard working and living conditions.
The zone will focus on high-tech and new technologies, such as digital information, machinery manufacturing, biological medicine, new materials, and research and development technology.
A high quality commercial service group has been formed to provide companies setting up in the zone with a full range of services, including investment consultation, procedure handling, and project construction, said Sun Yinliang, general manager of Shanghai Xin Jinshan Industrial Investment and Development Co.
Sun said companies will be offered preferential policies to attract them to the zone, but he wouldn't say what those policies will include.
The zone has already attracted several domestic and foreign companies, such as Baxter Healthcare (Shanghai) Co, Shanghai Dajulong New Covering Material Co, Shanghai Sine Jinzhu Pharmaceutical Co and Shanghai Yalong Industry Co.
The zone is located in the eastern portion of Jinshan District, and is surrounded by the Tingfeng Expressway, Jiajin Expressway, Caolang Road and Songwei Road S.
The zone was designed by Singapore Jurong Consultants Pte.
It includes two centers and a community called The New Jinshan International Community, and has a complete range of infrastructure, including water systems, roads, power lines, drainage systems for rain and sewage, natural gas, telecommunications, and wide band Internet connections.
The first phase of the zone covers an area of 10 square kilometers and is built based on the Chinese Taiji philosophy, with two parts divided by an "s" curve representing yin and yang, the two opposing principles in nature.
It has richer land resources but lower labor costs than other district, Sun boasted.
A shopping center in the southern part of the industrial zone, which covers 17.84 square kilometers, was recently opened to the public.
The zone is 48 kilometers from downtown Shanghai, 42 kilometers from Hongqiao International Airport, 58 kilometers from Pudong International Airport, 60 kilometers from the Yangshan Deep-water Port, and 33 kilometers from the Hangzhou Bay Bridge.
