The International Commerce Centre at China’s Guangzhou South Railway Station (Guangzhou South Station ICC) has topped out. Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP) is developing this project as a large-scale transit oriented development (TOD) with an overall layout of ‘commerce to the east, transport to the west’.

The office component includes One ICC and Two ICC, both of which have now topped out. One ICC is scheduled for completion and handover in the second half of 2026. The retail complex has been officially named Parc Central (Guangzhou South) and is also expected to be completed in the second half of 2026. The first phase of Forest Park, the residential portion, was already handed over in the first half of 2025.

“Guangzhou South Station ICC will become a new landmark in the GBA [Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area], integrating premium business facilities, convenient transport and a diverse mix of uses. It will inject new momentum into the Guangzhou South Station district and contribute to the high-quality development of the GBA,” said Sam Lai, general manager of SHKP southern China region.

Guangzhou South Station ICC enjoys a strategic transport advantage with seamless connectivity to Guangzhou South Station, China’s busiest high-speed rail station, and direct access to 12 rail lines, including high-speed, intercity and metro services, as well as five expressways. Trips from Hong Kong West Kowloon High-Speed Rail Terminus to Guangzhou South Station can take as little as 47 minutes, linking Guangzhou South Station ICC with SHKP’s flagship IGC, which sits directly above West Kowloon Terminus, and ICC nearby.

Moreover, the project capitalises on high-speed rail connectivity to major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou, where SHKP also boasts major integrated projects, with the fastest services taking under eight hours, extending its reach to key national hubs.

Within Guangzhou, transport connectivity continues to improve with the opening of the Haizhu Bay Tunnel, the Guangzhou East Ring Intercity Railway and the Extension Section of Guangzhou Metro Line 22. As a result, from Guangzhou South Station, it takes just 15 minutes to reach the city centre and 28 minutes to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, significantly shortening cross-district commuting times, strengthening links with the city’s core business districts and further enhancing the strategic location of Guangzhou South Station.
