The site is located within the mature startup area of the Eco-City which is in close proximity to amenities such as the Tianjin Binhai Foreign Language school, Yongding Zhou Cultural Park, No.1 Community Centre as well as the mixed use development Seasons City that is being developed by Keppel Land.

“To date, Keppel Land has launched about 4,500 units of homes in the Eco-City, of which about 98% have been sold,” Keppel Land China president Ben Lee revealed in a statement. “A further 346 units of homes will be launched in 2019.”

The Eco-City is a landmark bilateral project between the governments of Singapore and China in an effort to create a practical, scalable and replicable model for sustainable urbanisation. After 10 years of development, it has been transformed into a green city with close to 7,000 registered companies as well as 100,000 people residing and working there.
