Wuhan Meeting Center

The Meeting Center is the first phase of development in the expanding Eastlake District. Intended to be a key component of the economic expansion of Central China, the Meeting Center was seen as a means to attract additional business meetings and tourism to the already popular Eastlake area. As envisioned, the Meeting Center project would include a 20,000 square meter facility with two large meeting spaces and 10-15 smaller spaces and the adjoining 5 star hotel. The two facilities are adjacent to the lake, which would be developed with boating docks, a swimming beach, and other recreational facilities. The grounds of the Meeting Center/Hotel complex are to include a variety of gardens including the spiral garden, the rose garden, the winter garden and the stream garden. The self contained facility will be of the highest quality in China.

As part of the project, the first neighborhood within the Eastlake District was to be developed. The plan for the neighborhood featured a 4 hectare central lake that connected to the garden of the Meeting Center. Homes fronted the lake and perimeter parks/gardens or were positioned around “green fingers” that extended into the residential areas. The housing zones are to be developed with three house types and the plan was zoned accordingly.
