Sweco Architects have won a new project for the design of Xijin Times Centre, a new area in the city of Jinan, China to be comprised of 800,000 square metres of office, hotel and commercial space. The project’s value is approximately SEK 20 million for the first stage.

”During our 15 years in China, Sweco has worked with high level politicians and decision-makers on architecture and urban design. In this project we are helping the growing provincial capital of Jinan solve its need for a large new office park of high international standard,” says Jan Mattsson, President of Sweco Architects.

Under the project, Sweco will be responsible for conceptual design including exteriors and floor plans for the new buildings. The company has previously developed a master plan for the area. Sweco’s work will continue through 2015, and the new office park is expected to be completed in 2017.
