MixC Shenzhen Bay

MixC Shenzhen Bay, also known as Shenzhen Bay MixC and formerly called Nanshan MixC, is a large shopping mall in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, China. It is part of the MixC portfolio associated with China Resources and is operated by China Resources (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China Resources Land Ltd. The mall opened on 28 December 2018 and became the second M1-level MixC mall in Shenzhen after the original Shenzhen MixC. The property is positioned as a premium urban retail destination within a broader China Resources development. It forms part of a major complex that also includes China Resources Tower and the Shenzhen Bay Sports Center, commonly known as the Spring Cocoon. Together, the surrounding development has a total construction area of more than 700,000 square meters. The mall itself has approximately 80,000 square meters of floor area and combines fashion and lifestyle retail with food, entertainment, and daily-needs services. Its tenant and service mix includes flagship stores for major brands, a MixC cinema, the Ole supermarket format, and a substantial selection of high-end restaurants. The property benefits from direct underground connections to the concourses of Houhai Station, serving Shenzhen Metro Lines 2, 8, 11, and 13 according to the cited reference material. It is also served by local bus routes including M519, B964, and M347. The connection to the metro network supports the mall's role as both a destination for affluent consumers and a transit-accessible commercial center for the wider Nanshan area. By turnover, MixC Shenzhen Bay ranked second among Shenzhen shopping malls in 2023, behind Shenzhen MixC, with reported turnover of approximately RMB 8.2 billion. This figure is cited from the reference material and reflects a specific 2023 period rather than a permanent valuation or annual performance guarantee. The mall is close to Shenzhen Bay Port and is located near Shenzhen Talent Park, Shenzhen Bay No. 1, and Shenzhen Bay Cultural Plaza, reinforcing its integration with the district's commercial, cultural, sports, and residential infrastructure. A second phase on the west side of the original development opened on 30 September 2025. At that point, the original Phase I area was renamed Zone A; the southern portion of Phase I became Zone B; the area west of Zone B became Zone C; and Zone D was identified on the east side of Houhai Bin Road. The phase expansion and zone reorganization broadened the property's physical footprint and marked a new stage in the development of Shenzhen Bay's mixed-use retail environment. Phase I architecture and interior design were carried out by Lead8.

MixC Shenzhen Bay was developed as a major China Resources retail project in Shenzhen's Nanshan District. The property was originally known as Nanshan MixC and was designed to complement a larger urban complex containing China Resources Tower and the Shenzhen Bay Sports Center, the venue popularly associated with the name Spring Cocoon. Lead8 carried out the architecture and interior design work for Phase I, while operations were assigned to China Resources (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China Resources Land Ltd. The mall opened on 28 December 2018. Its launch expanded the MixC presence in Shenzhen beyond the original Shenzhen MixC and made it the city's second M1-level MixC mall. The project combined approximately 80,000 square meters of retail floor area with a premium tenant mix, including flagship stores, upscale restaurants, a MixC cinema, and an Ole supermarket. Its position near Shenzhen Bay's commercial, cultural, sports, and residential developments gave it a role extending beyond conventional enclosed retail. Direct underground links to Houhai metro station connected the mall to Lines 2, 8, 11, and 13, while nearby roads and bus routes provided additional access. The mall's performance established it as one of Shenzhen's leading retail properties. Reference material identifies it as the city's second-highest-revenue shopping mall by turnover in 2023, with turnover reported at RMB 8.2 billion, behind Shenzhen MixC. The figure indicates the scale of the property within Shenzhen's premium shopping-center market, although it should be treated as a period-specific operating statistic rather than a general financial valuation. Expansion followed with the opening of Phase II on the west side of the original mall on 30 September 2025. The expansion coincided with a new internal zoning system: the original Phase I became Zone A, its southern section became Zone B, the area west of Zone B became Zone C, and Zone D was established east of Houhai Bin Road. This reconfiguration reflects the development's growth from a single principal mall into a larger, phased retail environment. The property remains active and operates as a China Resources-affiliated premium shopping destination in Shenzhen Bay.
