In 2026, Hangzhou’s commercial real estate market will witness an unprecedented “feast of integrated complex development.” Highly anticipated projects such as Hangzhou Hang Lung Plaza, Hangzhou Kerry Centre, and Hangzhou Century Center Shopping Center are all set to open. Amidst this development wave, one project stands out, attracting attention from Xiaoshan and even the entire city of Hangzhou: Hangzhou Halo Dream Center.
Not only will it be the largest commercial complex opening this year, but it also embodies the high expectations of Hongkong Land’s high-end commercial brand “Halo” for Hangzhou. With a total construction area of approximately 170,000 square meters, the project is positioned as a “shopping center growing in a park” and an “urban family entertainment destination,” aiming to redefine the commercial experience in Hangzhou.
U-shaped Transitional Light and Shadow Tensioned Membrane Elevator
Among the four themes, the most core and iconic is undoubtedly the “Wormhole Universe.” This is the pinnacle of the project’s visual design and imagination, its core being a U-shaped elevator with interwoven light and shadow, connecting all five floors.
It’s not merely a tool connecting floors, but a colossal art installation, a visual focal point guiding visitors through a “wormhole,” creating a sense of distorted time and space. The client bestowed upon it the highest title of “soul design,” meaning that from concept to completion, no compromise was allowed.
Therefore, the project demanded near-impossible standards of material and construction precision to achieve this spectacle—every aspect, from structure to cladding, had to achieve millimeter-level accuracy. Any slight deviation would compromise the fluid, fantastical overall aesthetic and structural integrity of the “wormhole.”
Yexing, a tensile membrane structure manufacturer.
Faced with such immense challenges, Yexing Membrane Structure stood out with its profound technical expertise in large-scale, complex membrane structures, extensive project experience, and exceptional control over precision construction, and was fortunate enough to undertake the crucial task of installing this iconic membrane structure.
We understand that what we hold in our hands is not just steel and membrane materials, but the core framework of a work of art, carrying countless expectations.
Currently, the project has entered the crucial membrane structure installation phase. The Yexing Engineering team is conducting the installation work on-site with a rigorous scientific process and meticulous attention to detail. Every tensioning point and every joint has been repeatedly calibrated to ensure the final effect perfectly matches the design drawings, allowing this “light and shadow wormhole” to make a stunning debut in its most perfect form.
The birth of the Hangzhou Hailemeng Center is a perfect fusion of commercial imagination and engineering technology, a significant milestone in the history of Hangzhou’s commercial development, marking Hangzhou’s transformation from a “shopping era” to an “experience era” and a “destination era.”
As the creator of this future commercial landmark, Yexing Membrane Structure is deeply honored. Upholding professionalism and with exquisite craftsmanship as our soul, we are committed to turning this “millimeter-precise fantasy journey” from blueprint to reality.
In 2026, let us look forward to this “halo” growing within the park, containing the universe within, shining brightly in Jiangnan Science and Technology City!
