Swire Properties and Xi'an Qujiang New District broke ground in November for their joint venture project, Taikoo Li Xi'an. Located within the city's Small Wild Goose Pagoda historical and cultural zone, the mixed-use development will be Swire Properties' fourth and largest "Taikoo Li" project on the Chinese Mainland. With an estimated gross floor area of 256,192 sqm, it will comprise a shopping mall, cultural facilities, and a luxury House Collective hotel.
Taikoo Li Xi'an will feature an innovative low-rise, open-plan architecture, paying tribute to its location within Anren Fang, one of the 108 "Fangs", or subdivisions, of Chang'an – the ancient name for Xi'an. Traditional urban fabric will be carefully integrated into the layout, with the world heritage Small Wild Goose Pagoda and Tang Dynasty Jianfu Temple as key focal points. Taikoo Li Xi'an is scheduled to be completed in phases from 2026.
In July, Swire Properties announced a donation of RMB 4 million to the Xi'an Museum, to help preserve and promote Xi'an's culture and history.
