Shenzhen’s Qianhai Authority has issued a public notice on amendments to the construction planning permit for the Bihai Jihao Garden (Phase 1) project, a major residential development in the Qianhai Cooperation Zone. Key changes include adjustments to building areas, site layouts, and underground facilities, while maintaining robust bike parking infrastructure with 311 ground-level spots, including 96 for e-bikes. The 10-day public consultation period allows stakeholders to provide feedback on these updates, underscoring Qianhai’s commitment to integrated urban planning.

Background

The Bihai Jihao Garden project, developed by Shenzhen Jin Xinming Group Ltd., is located east of the Cuigubao Road and Baogui Road intersection in Xixiang Street, Qianhai Cooperation Zone. Spanning 41,607.84 square meters of residential land, the overall project plans for 480 bicycle parking spaces alongside 732 motor vehicle spots. Phase 1, under the amended permit (Construction Planning License No. 4403002025GG0050571), includes 56,923.56 square meters of above-ground floor area for residential units, commercial space, a kindergarten, community facilities, and notably 311 ground bicycle parking spaces (with 96 e-bike charging points) and 897 underground car spots (270 with charging).

The revisions primarily adjust non-countable floor areas, such as increasing elevated leisure spaces, covered walkways, and underground equipment rooms, alongside layout tweaks like north-side entrance modifications, added garage ramp covers, and landscape adjustments (e.g., removing an outdoor pool). These changes do not alter core density metrics like floor area ratio (≤2.2) or building height (≤90m), ensuring compliance with aviation limits. Originally permitted in 2001 with supplements, the project exemplifies Qianhai’s push for mixed-use developments supporting sustainable transport through dedicated bike facilities.

Future Outlook

The public notice runs from December 19, 2025, to January 5, 2026, inviting feedback via Shenzhen Qianhai e-Zone Service Hall, the project site, or email ([email protected]). Absent valid objections, approvals will proceed, potentially advancing construction and enhancing Qianhai’s cycling-friendly infrastructure amid Shenzhen’s broader sustainable mobility goals. This could set a precedent for future residential projects prioritizing bike parking integration, aligning with global trends in urban cycling policy.
