Savills has worked with SHKP for a long time, and we expect our continued cooperation will usher in a new era for Nanjing’s office market by introducing greater international standards.”

Nanjing IFC will be SHKP’s third IFC project in China after those in Hong Kong and Shanghai, continuing the tradition of providing modern mixed-use space meeting international standards.
