Research on the Positioning of Industrial Park Upgrading and Transformation Project

Company overview

Longteng Investment is a comprehensive real estate investment and development company that has recently expanded its business portfolio into diverse sectors, including specialized markets, tourism, hotels, public utilities, and property management. Founded in Guangdong Province, the company has built a strong market reputation in the South China region through its substantial capital base and stable operational model. Its investment in the 'China Taishan Redwood Art Exhibition City' project in Dajiang Town, Taishan City, with a total investment of 3 billion RMB, demonstrates its deep commitment and confidence in exploring the integration of culture and industry...

Research background

With the advancement of urban renewal and the increasing value of community commercial spaces, Longteng Investment plans to collaborate with the collective of Hongjue New Village in Haizhu District to operate a 34,000 square meter industrial park. Currently, the park consists of single-story factory buildings and supports traditional manufacturing industries such as apparel, textiles, printing, warehousing, and home goods manufacturing. In response to the surrounding residents' demand for higher living standards and the broader urban development trend of 'industrial-to-commercial conversion' (gongdao shang), Longteng Investment intends to upgrade the area into a modern commercial district focused on improving the living environment for local residents. Therefore, the company urgently requires scientific market research to understand the actual needs of local consumers and potential tenants, as well as the conditions for merchant entry, in order to guide the project's business model planning and leasing strategy.

Research scope

In August 2018, CEIDEA Research was commissioned by Longteng Investment to conduct field research around the Haizhu District Hongjue New Village Industrial Park. The study focused on surveying and interviewing residents and potential consumers in key areas such as schools, urban villages, and hospitals to understand their preferences for commercial formats, brand types, and service facilities. Additionally, targeted interviews were conducted with merchants in the food and beverage, entertainment, education, and retail sectors to gather information on their expected rental rates, required facilities, target customer demographics, and required floor area. The research covered a wide range of stakeholders to ensure that the collected data accurately reflects the true market conditions.

Expected outcomes

The research is expected to provide Longteng Investment with scientific and systematic recommendations for project development strategy. Based on a clear project positioning, the study will define specific industry entry directions, optimize the mix of business formats, and develop targeted brand attraction and supporting infrastructure strategies. The findings will help the project effectively meet the community's demand for improved living standards while achieving maximum commercial value and successful regional image transformation.
