Qingyang District is stepping into the spotlight. With the commencement of the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, this year marks the first time aerospace and low-altitude economies have been explicitly designated as national "emerging pillar industries." On May 21st, Chengdu's "15th Five-Year Plan" outline proposed that the city's regional GDP should exceed 3.2 trillion yuan by 2030. The aerospace sector is seen as a spearhead for leveraging breakthroughs in industrial and urban development capabilities. The focus points squarely to Qingyang District.
The past year of 2025 saw this dynamic region deliver an impressive report card: aerospace industry revenue surpassed 90 billion yuan, accounting for one-third of Sichuan Province's total and half of Chengdu's share. As the core heart of Chengdu's aviation industry, the Qingyang Aviation New City does not feature sprawling factory complexes but is densely populated with 300 key aviation supporting enterprises and 74 provincial-level or higher innovation platforms.
Significant transformation is already underway. In March of this year, CHINA RES LAND (SEHK: 01109) introduced its MIXC-branded commercial complex to the area, and the layout of the Qingyang Joy City was also confirmed, heralding the emergence of a billion-yuan commercial district formed by the MIXC and Joy City brands.
Qingyang's Established Pedigree and New Ambitions
Qingyang District has long held significant weight in the minds of Chengdu residents. The city's historical origin point is located here, with cultural prestige stemming from sites like the Huanhua Stream, Qingyang Temple, Du Fu Thatched Cottage, and the Jinsha Site. Its educational prestige is cemented by hosting three of the city's top five primary schools and two of the three elite middle schools. As for lifestyle, the Huanhua Stream area is recognized as a premier high-end residential sector in Chengdu, giving rise to other upscale residential zones like Jinsha, Guanghua, and Qingyang New City. The prestige of "West Chengdu's Elite" has never been in doubt.
Now, the times have presented Qingyang District with a new proposition. This year, the district established the strategic goal of "Cultural Qingyang · Aviation New City." The Qingyang Economic Development Zone has proposed achieving total operating revenue exceeding 200 billion yuan during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, fostering a hundred-billion-yuan aerospace industry cluster, and advancing towards national-level development zone status. Simultaneously, the district is anchored in the development philosophy of "revitalizing the city through industry and promoting industry through the city," continuously optimizing the urban functional layout of the Aviation New City and improving various public service facilities.
The Catalyst for Urban Evolution
The tide of the era is surging towards Qingyang New City. The hundred-billion-yuan aviation industry cluster is expected to bring in 100,000 high-net-worth professionals, superimposed onto the surrounding millions of permanent residents. The shift in population structure, bringing enhanced purchasing power, is driving surges in regional consumption momentum and economic vitality. This necessitates an urgent upgrade in urban functions and consumption scenarios.
Qingyang District's "second evolution" is arriving faster than anticipated. In March, CHINA RES LAND secured a mixed-use commercial and residential land parcel covering approximately 152 mu in Qingyang District. As part of this deployment, the company confirmed the introduction of its MIXC-branded commercial complex. It is understood that the project adopts a composite development model of "commercial defines the center, residential sets the benchmark." The commercial component aims to activate regional consumption vitality through brand aggregation, while the residential component focuses on creating improved quality living spaces, achieving mutual empowerment between commerce and residence. This constructs a positive cycle of "consumption activation - living standard upgrade - industry agglomeration," accelerating the integration of industry and city in Qingyang Aviation New City.
Beyond the MIXC system, the Joy City complex has also been confirmed for the area. Within a span of less than 4 kilometers, these two heavyweight commercial projects are laying the foundation for high-end consumption in the region. The blueprint is already unfolding, with both commercial centers under vigorous construction. It's worth noting that such commercial density directly parallels that of Chengdu's Financial City and Pannengang areas, both of which took over a decade to fully realize their commercial potential. To achieve this level of development later, yet potentially lead, exemplifies the "Qingyang Speed."
A Major Commitment to the District's Future
CHINA RES LAND's involvement in Qingyang District extends far beyond a single MIXC commercial project. In March, the company secured the aforementioned 152-mu mixed-use land near Peifeng subway station. In May, it acquired another plot, the Zhongba No. 1 land parcel. Thus, within two months, CHINA RES LAND has committed to a total investment exceeding 4 billion yuan for over 220 mu of land in Qingyang District. At a time when many companies in the new real estate cycle are opting for a "light-asset" approach, CHINA RES LAND's substantial investments in Qingyang are particularly noteworthy.
Those familiar with Chengdu's property market are well aware of CHINA RES LAND's strength as a top-tier urban developer. Data shows that from 2022 to 2025, the company has ranked first in sales among Chengdu developers for four consecutive years—a period during which Chengdu itself has maintained a leading position nationally.
However, CHINA RES LAND's capabilities extend beyond real estate development; it maintains a close, symbiotic relationship with urban progress. The excitement generated by events at Dong'an Lake has polished Chengdu's reputation as a "City of Performances." Chengdu MIXC, with annual foot traffic exceeding 52 million and over 100 flagship/first-store brands, has helped solidify Chengdu's position as the nation's fourth-largest consumption hub. From the Universiade to the Science Fiction Convention, Chengdu has repeatedly captured global attention. Behind these key urban milestones, the name CHINA RES LAND is often present.
Since entering the Chengdu market, CHINA RES LAND has participated in numerous major urban projects—Donghu Park, MIXC, Dong'an Lake Sports Park—each precisely aligning with critical junctures and addressing key growth challenges in the city's development. Its long-termism, characterized by integrated and synergistic operations across the entire industry chain, has become a crucial force for advancing alongside the city, helping it evolve into a genuine "urban investment and development operator" and securing a leading position across all industry dimensions.
Addressing the Core Needs of a New Era
It is precisely based on this extensive, proven experience in urban development models, validated repeatedly in Chengdu and nationwide, that CHINA RES LAND possesses a deeper understanding of Qingyang District's current genuine needs. With the Aviation New City serving as the new engine for economic development, the goal is to create comprehensive urban amenities and rich metropolitan lifestyle scenarios. By offering high-quality urban living and residential comfort, the aim is to help Qingyang District retain more talent and elites, thereby accelerating urban development.
Consequently, CHINA RES LAND is implementing a synergistic model of dual residential projects plus the MIXC commercial complex. Leveraging the regional population of millions and the hundred-billion-yuan aviation industry, the strategy is anchored in constructing a billion-yuan commercial circle and reshaping high-end living environments.
Forging a New Urban Center
Under the new propositions of the era, the established Qingyang District is radiating fresh vitality. The impact of this government-enterprise partnership is gradually becoming evident. Recently, Qingyang District released its "2026 Land Resource Inventory," systematically disclosing 21 land parcels slated for market release or awaiting development in 2026, covering a total area of approximately 953.34 mu across five uses: industrial, commercial, medical, industrial (again), and residential.
An analysis of this information suggests that subsequent residential land supply in Qingyang District will likely concentrate around the areas where CHINA RES LAND has made its two major deployments. A new central hub, with the Qingyang MIXC commercial complex at its core, is taking shape. This emerging city center boasts excellent resources. Following the MIXC's arrival, it will become a commercial hub concentrating new consumption energy. In the future, it is poised to attract talent from across western Chengdu, forming a new high-end urban residential center.
Introducing Pioneering Residential Projects
The question now is: how will CHINA RES LAND introduce innovative residential products that are both well-suited to Qingyang and pioneering, to drive an iteration in regional lifestyle? Last week, the company officially announced the project names for its two Qingyang residential developments: Qingyang Guanchen and Qingyang Runjing.
Qingyang Guanchen, the first to be unveiled, has revealed more details, aiming to build a "Three-Dimensional Living Aesthetics" community based on a super foundation, super performance, and super functionality.
1. Super Foundation – The Resource Hub of the MIXC Gravity Field
On an exceptionally large scale, Qingyang Guanchen will form a super foundation characterized by symbiotic vitality with the MIXC complex. It will reshape the regional interface through the MIXC Gravity Field, activate high-frequency living via clubhouse operational spaces, and rebuild daily life routines within vibrant landscape canyons. This integrates commerce, clubhouse, and landscape into a trinity, creating a high-end community that offers seclusion within serene gardens and steps out into urban bustle, possessing both the energy of a main hub and long-term vitality.
2. Super Performance – Systematic Adaptation Addressing Life's Pain Points
Unlike many current new products that focus more on display features, Qingyang Guanchen will employ comprehensive, multi-dimensional innovations—such as triple storage systems, vibrant garage designs, and floor-to-ceiling system windows—to systematically resolve living inconveniences. Taking storage as an example, it innovatively includes a garage "universal storage" area for large household items like camping gear and strollers, facilitating quick vehicle loading and avoiding the hassle of moving items up and down. Combined with entryway light hall storage and indoor 800-unit storage systems, these innovations aim to restore orderliness to daily life.
3. Super Functionality – Multiple "Firsts" Setting New Standards
In recent years, CHINA RES LAND has been notably active in product innovation, often leading market trends. Projects like the innovative panoramic cabin development Yue Tianfu, the multi-level landscape residence Huachen Mansion, and the nationally leading fourth-generation villa Tianchen Shangyuan have all sparked numerous market imitations. This time, beyond applying luxury design concepts to the public areas of Qingyang Guanchen, the product development emphasizes super-functional residences and intends to break traditional real estate development patterns with several "firsts." These include creating a rare super-quiet residential environment to enhance living quality in western Chengdu; offering pre-delivery customization of layout and style based on homeowners' personalized lifestyle needs, achieving full-cycle private customization from space to aesthetics; and designing more equitable and comfortable "scholar's apartments" suited to Qingyang's excellent educational resources. In other words, true comfortable living customization not only meets residents' explicit needs but also responds to and uncovers deeper lifestyle aspirations.
According to the plan, the MIXC commercial complex will be developed concurrently with the residential components. The current progress on the residential land parcels also signals an accelerated project timeline, effectively starting the countdown for Qingyang District's commercial takeoff. Just as MIXC served as the resource center for the 24 City development, Qingyang Guanchen and Qingyang Runjing will also position themselves closer to the resource hub of the MIXC Gravity Field. It is reported that the city exhibition hall for the Qingyang Guanchen project is set to open soon, where more product details will be disclosed.
