CapitaMall Tian-Gong-Yuan designed by Laguarda.Low Architects (LLA) celebrated its grand opening on December 30th, 2018 receiving more than 160,000 visitors on its first day.

Located in the burgeoning Daxing district 25 kilometers south of Beijing, Tian-Gong-Yuan is designed as a metaphorical ship on the horizon, the center’s soft forms of nautical-related travel are the project’s primary aesthetic. The 200,000 m2 Retail & Entertainment Center lies along Xinyuan Road and is physically linked to central Beijing by the #4 subway line.

Two public plazas, one on grade and the other sunken, anchor each end of the multilevel mall. Two below grade retail levels have direct access to the subway line and consist of small shops, F&B tenants, and a supermarket. The six levels above grade consist of standard retail and fashion tenants, lifestyle anchors, a cinema and two full upper levels of F&B venues. Parking is below grade for approximately 1,500 cars.

The interior of the mall employs a garden theme within a multi-level green concept that incorporates organic shapes and corridors for smooth pedestrian flow. The dynamic retail and entertainment environment of nearly 400 stores in a garden setting serves the 600,000 residents of the Daxing district with a comfortable, leisurely experience.
