Swire Properties announces Taikoo Place Beijing

In recognition of the significant expansion of INDIGO Beijing, Swire Properties' mixed-use development located in the Chaoyang District, the company has revealed plans to rename the commercial landmark as Taikoo Place Beijing.

Taikoo Place Beijing will combine the existing, mixed-use INDIGO development1 with its Phase Two extension. Upon completion this expansive commercial complex will feature eight Grade-A office towers, a premium shopping mall with indoor and outdoor concepts, and a new EAST lifestyle hotel and serviced apartments. Spanning a total of 860,000 sq m, Taikoo Place Beijing will set new standards for integrated, mixed-use developments in the city.

Since opening in 2012, INDIGO Beijing has showcased Swire Properties’ visionary approach to creative transformation and placemaking in the Chinese Mainland. Located close to the internationally renowned 798 Art District, INDIGO Beijing is home to a vibrant community where people work, live and play and it has transformed the whole area into one of the most popular leisure, retail and business destinations in Chaoyang District.

The development’s seven new premium Grade-A office towers each stand 80 meters high. These towers are a departure from traditional high-rise designs, offering human centric workspaces with internationally recognised ESG credentials. The entire development will enjoy seamless connectivity, with indoor-to-outdoor walkways linking each of the office towers to the retail, hotel and amenity spaces, together with direct subway connectivity for easy access.

Taikoo Place Beijing will also leverage the success of the existing INDIGO Beijing retail mall. The extension of the mall with its green spaces, will be fully integrated with INDIGO Beijing’s open design, positioning Taikoo Place Beijing as a unique urban oasis in the city. Acknowledging Jiangtai’s lively art scene, arts and cultural amenities will be an important part of the development, with the aim of cultivating an innovative and creative retail space for customers, tenants, guests as well as the surrounding neighbourhood community.

At the heart of all these exciting new offerings is “The Delphi”, a dedicated communal space that will nurture creativity and promote collaboration and wellness. The space aims to bring office workers, retail customers, hotel guests and visitors together by creating a hub for social interaction, knowledge sharing, cultural events and wellbeing. These unique amenities will be complemented by expansive green spaces along the revitalised Bahe Riverfront, creating an environment that connects the wider community with nature.

Taikoo Place Beijing is set to open in phases from the end of 2026 onwards.
