SM Prime has expanded its first retail development in China with the launch of the CHAO Block in Xiamen, introducing a new mixed-use concept to the coastal city.
The addition forms part of a broader effort to develop a comprehensive lifestyle destination within Xiamen, combining retail, leisure, and community spaces.
The CHAO Block is designed to integrate modern commercial offerings with local cultural elements, positioning the site as a year-round attraction rather than a seasonal one.
The expansion reflects growing investment in experiential retail across China’s secondary urban centers, where developers are prioritizing destination-building over traditional mall formats.
