| Those Columbus-doubters were right. The world is flat, with globalization allowing for collaboration across the seven seas. We're throwing our globes out the window to congratulate Baltimore-based DDG for being appointed lead planning and design architect for China?s largest mall, which will be located 20 minutes outside of downtown Beijing. The 4M SF (or 372k square meter) complex will feature seven levels of retail, and project leader Ahsin Rasheed tells us ?anybody who's anybody? in fashion will be there (for us nobody who's nobody, that means think Cartier, Armani, and Gucci). The mall is part of a 9M SF master-planned development that will include an opera house, natural history museum, and grand library. Construction is already underway, with delivery in 2012. |
| Ahsin says DDG?s been in China for over a decade and that 98% of the firm's recent business is international. Pictured above is a high-end residential development they recently worked on in Shanghai, dubbed Vizcaya at Jinqaio. |
