Luxurious Real Estate Development: Grand Bayview Qianhai
In the bustling Shenzhen region of China, Foster + Partners has completed a remarkable residential development called Grand Bayview Qianhai. The high-rise complex, which was finished in 2025, consists of two fan-shaped towers, each rising to a height of 180 meters.
The design of the towers aims to balance privacy and exclusivity with a sense of community in a relaxed environment. Each residential level in the towers includes a planted communal terrace, delivering shared terraces on every floor and offering spectacular views, while providing natural ventilation and controlled daylight.
The towers' superstructure is fabricated in lightweight steel, manufactured locally and assembled on site. Modular construction methods were used throughout the development to reduce embodied carbon and ensure quality control.
The prefabricated envelope was installed using off-site processes where possible to reduce construction time and impact. The plan geometry of the towers allows for more private apartment units with outward views on the outer radius and shared terraces and vertical green spaces on the inner faces.
The development forms part of the wider Guiwan district's pedestrian network. A podium deck on level two integrates with the area's elevated walkway system, and the towers are linked at ground level by a landscaped garden that connects with neighboring greenbelts, creating a connected urban environment.
The Grand Bayview Qianhai residential high-rise complex is aimed at professionals with an intensive work-centered lifestyle. Triple-height sky gardens are present in the towers, serving as shared spaces for group exercise, informal gatherings, and curated events. A podium deck provides a semi-public urban space with soft planting and shaded seating, further enhancing the development's communal spaces.
Each sky garden includes louvered shading, natural ventilation, and planting, creating an open yet secluded environment with panoramic views of the city. The design of the development aims to promote a healthy and sustainable lifestyle, with a focus on well-being and community.
Apartment units have been designed for long-term adaptability and can be combined over time, ensuring the development remains flexible to meet the changing needs of its residents. The Grand Bayview Qianhai residential development is a testament to Foster + Partners' commitment to creating innovative, sustainable, and community-focused urban spaces.
