Construction on the new project, located between the cities of Shenyang and Fushun in China, is expected to take place in phases over the next decade. Shenfu New Town is an entirely new city, for which the Goddard Group provided the concept and master planning services for two square kilometers of the more than 10 square kilometer city. Goddard and his designers worked in close concert with the local government and development agencies on Shenfu New Town, which will be wrapped around two massive lakes, each of them shaped and designed by The Goddard Group. At the heart of the new city, overlooking these massive lakes, will be the “Ring of Harmony,” a 505-foot tall stainless steel ring that will serve as the new city’s iconic symbol.
Shenfu New Town follows closely on the heels of the international success that has been enjoyed by the Goddard Group-designed “Galaxy Macau” Mega Resort and Casino in China. The $2-billion resort is the recent winner of the 2012 “World’s Best Casino / Integrated Resort of the Year” Award bestowed by the International Gaming Awards. In less than one year, the Galaxy World Macau venue has become a world class mega resort visited by millions of people from all over the world. According to Goddard and The Goddard Group, the same kind of drawing power enjoyed by the Galaxy Macau is expected for the dynamic “Ring of Harmony” at Shenfu New Town.
While the “Ring of Harmony” will be completed first, the Goddard Group’s master plan covers over two square kilometers (roughly 500 square acres) of urban design, including housing, retail, entertainment, civic buildings, parks, lakes and other community-based design elements. The total Shenfu New Town project is expected to be built out over the next four to five years.
