The first phase of the project will cover a construction area of not less than 800,000 square meters with a total investment of RMB 3.69 billion, the announcement says, to support the fast fashion giant’s global sales via a one-stop logistics park that will integrate warehousing, stocking, distribution, shipping, and settlement services.
