CityOn.Zhengzhou, located in the provincial capital of central China’s Henan Province, is the only China project that has won a Grand Opening award.
Opened on March 16, 2017, CityOn.Zhengzhou promises a best-in-class retail destination by creating a landmark in the heart of Zhengdong New District, the new economic and cultural center of Zhengzhou.
The six-level, one million square foot shopping center offers a curated mix of domestic, international and lifestyle brands from fast fashion to designer brands anchored by a four-level Wangfujing department store.
CityOn.Zhengzhou’s Grand Opening took place during a traditionally off-season period. CityOn launched its creative “CityOn Opening Season” campaign encompassing multichannel online and offline membership recruitment activities, themed promotional events, and innovative partnerships with mobile transportation service platforms Didi Chuxing and OFO, making CityOn.Zhengzhou the talk of the city and one of the most popular meeting places.
Peter Sharp, President of Taubman Asia, said, “We are thrilled to be honored with a Gold Award at the industry’s most prestigious award.
Receiving this recognition is a great encouragement and motivation, and we will continue our efforts in setting new standards for retail experiences for the people of Zhengzhou and China.”
