Design - Build - Lead: QBA 2026 Highlights

 Since its completion, China Overseas Headquarters has obtained numerous top-tier domestic and international certifications in relevant sectors, including Nearly Zero Energy Building certification, Zero Carbon Building certification, WELL Platinum, LEED Gold, China Green Building Three-Star Rating and Healthy Building Three-Star Rating. It stands as the “Only 5A-grade nearly zero-energy office building” among completed large-scale high-rise office buildings in China that hold multiple certifications covering zero carbon and healthy building standards. 

The project deeply integrates in-house professional resources across the full industry chain including design, development, construction, supervision, IoT and operation. It streamlines the whole workflow spanning investment planning, schematic design, engineering construction, smart system implementation and long-term low-carbon operation and maintenance. Integrated coordination of technologies, resources and teams within the Group has been realized, enabling the full implementation of China Overseas’s “JointForce+” industrial coordination system.

Meanwhile, the project adopts self-developed integrated low-carbon smart construction technologies throughout the whole process. It extensively applies domestically produced green building materials, home-grown intelligent building management systems and a full-life-cycle BIM digital construction platform. Adopting an independently controllable technical route, the project delivered China’s first 5A-grade nearly zero-energy high-rise office building. It fully demonstrates the technological innovation and full-cycle implementation capabilities of "Chinese Construction" by central SOEs in the new era within green low-carbon and smart building sectors. As a demonstration headquarters building in the Bay Area, it features three core attributes: proprietary technologies independently developed by a central SOE, self-execution across the whole industrial chain, and wide adoption of domestic technologies.
