Design sketch of GLP Eco-City Smart Logistics Industrial Park

GLP, a global logistics and real estate industry leader, will build a smart logistics park in the China-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City, an inter-governmental project between Singapore and China in Binhai New Area.

It plans to invest 300 million yuan($42.84 million)to build a smart logistics industrial park with a total area of about 8.44 hectares. The park will mainly promote the AI technologies, creating a smart logistics park through information system, Internet of Things, computer vision, big data and other information technologies.

The park is located in the Eco-Innovation Park (EIP) which is developed by SSTEC with a planning area of 175 hectares.

It is close to important transportation hubs such as Tianjin Port, Tianjin Binhai International Airport and linked to the surrounding major cities via expressways and railways.

Enterprises that settled in EIP can rent the green ready-built factories or purchase land to build their factories and establish their bases. The area can also serve as a business development platform to form an innovative business cooperation model with enterprises and service organizations in the surrounding areas to provide services in different fields for TBNA and northern China.

As a leading global investment manager and business builder in logistics, real estate, infrastructure, finance and related technologies, it is expected to inject new vitality into Eco-City's economic and industries developments.

Its businesses cover Europe, Brazil, China, India, Japan and the United States. GLP is also an establisher and promoter of China’s smart logistics and related industries ecosystem.

Li Zengyi, the person-in-charge of GLP Tianjin said, “China-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City is an ideal choice for us to establish a smart logistics industrial park. The Eco-City has convenient transportation, good business development environment and preferential policies, as well as well-equipped smart city infrastructure, which will contribute to the construction of our park and the rapid expansion of our businesses.”

Tay Lim Heng, CEO of SSTEC, said, “We are glad that GLP chose to establish a smart logistics industrial park in the Eco-City. Its presence will effectively promote the development of related industries in the area. We are committed to creating a good business environment for enterprises and an ideal platform conducive to their development. GLP’s investment will provide aplenty employment opportunities for the Eco-City and inject more vitality into the economic and industries developments. At the same time, their advanced smart operation model will also support the construction of the Eco-City’s smart city.”
