SHANGHAI, Jan. 26, 2016 — Jin Jiang International Hotels recently signed a management agreement with Shanghai Duck King Real Estate Development Co., Ltd, under which Jin Jiang will provide professional management services to the future Grammy Jin Jiang Hotel, which will be located in Shanghai International Automobile City, Anting Town, Jiading District, Shanghai.
The over 36,000-square meter, 250-room hotel, which is under construction in Duck King Commercial Plaza, Jiading District, is scheduled to open in June 2017.
Duck King Commercial Plaza is located in the center of the Huangdu neighborhood in Anting Town, bordered by North Jiasong Road to the south, Lvyuan Road to the east, a land boundary to the north, and Wutang River to the west. Only 1.5 kilometers from the Jiading Campus of Tongji University, the plaza is a new multi-use complex that provides a venue for four-star hotels, banks, 3D cinemas, restaurants, entertainment venues, wedding photography facilities as well as retail and chain outlets, executive offices and outdoor European bridal services centers.
The VP of business development at Jin Jiang International Hotels said he is optimistic about the future development of the Grammy Jin Jiang Hotel, as Anting Automobile City lacks facilities for business meetings and accommodations for business travelers and most hotels within a radius of 8 kilometers are budget establishments. The maturing and growing industry cluster in Anting Automobile City is expected to have a positive impact on and bring high-end tourists to the area where the hotel is located. The main framework for ten schools, including the School of Automotive Studies, the School of Software Engineering and the School of Mechanical Engineering, at the Jiading Campus of Tongji University, all of which forming a core component of Anting Automobile City, has already been completed and the buildings have opened for classes. These new facilities will stimulate cultural exchanges and visits which will require more and better quality accommodations and meeting venues.
Mr. Simon Zhang, Chief Executive Officer of Jin Jiang International Hotels states, "Besides representing a successful expansion of the group, the management agreement for Grammy Jin Jiang Hotel is a further testament of Jin Jiang International Hotel's management capabilities and brand excellence. Grammy Jin Jiang Hotel will be the only four-star hotel in Duck King Commercial Plaza and fill the gap in the local high-end hotel market. The hotel is expected to improve the quality of accommodations in the area by offering business travelers a more high-end and comfortable option."
