Singapore-based shopping center developer CapitaMalls Asia recently said it would spend US$365 million to develop a mall in southern Beijing, buying the land from a subsidiary of the Poly Real Estate Group.

The development will feature a seven-story, 122,000-square-meter mall, representing a total cost of around RMB$19,190 per square meter for construction and land, the company stated. The project is due for completion in 2015.

CapitaMalls Asia, 65 percent owned by Temasek, is one of the most active international property developers in China. This will be its 57th mall in the country.

Let’s take a look at the differences between the areas surrounding this mall and a popular CapitaMall in central Beijing.
