Though the spotlight on some second and third-tier cities have dimmed, some bright sparks remain. Take the 533.3 ha Sino-Singapore Health City in Gaobeidian for example.

A Singapore-listed real estate and development company, KSH Holdings, has announced plans to launch a 3,050-unit residential project within the Hebei province by the end of 2016 together with their joint-venture partners, Beijing Jia Hua Hong Yuan Investment, Oxley Holdings, Lian Beng Group, Heeton Holdings and Zap Piling.
They continue to see potential for growth and demand for commercial and residential property development, especially as the infrastructure and shift in economics are favouring this particular township. With the high-speed train, Gaobeidian will only be a 20-min train ride away from Beijing. And with the food logistics centre moving to the city, the township is set to be an important hinterland.

The potential residential project launch will see up to 1,600 mass-market units priced between 4,000 to 5,000 yuan per sq m and 1,450 higher-end units priced between 7,000 to 8,000 yuan per sq m. And this is only a fifth of the 18,000 new homes the township will eventually yield in phase 1. The second phase will potentially yield up to 30,000 new residential units. The Gaobeidian development will also include a 40,000 sq m commercial site, a food-safety testing centre and even a mountain-climbing training centre.
