【AEXNEWS】On June 25, 2026, this very message will flash across the iconic Nasdaq screen in the heart of Times Square — a dazzling announcement that HIC, the flagship headquarters project of Quanzhou Urban Construction Group, has arrived on the global stage.
Times Square: Where the World Meets, and Where Icons Are Made
Times Square is not merely a New York intersection; it is the planet’s most visited public space, drawing over 50 million tourists annually. Neon‑lit, electric, and unceasingly vibrant, it has earned its title as “The Crossroads of the World.” Every day, crowds from every nation flock here, not just to see the dazzling billboards, but to feel the pulse of global commerce, entertainment, and culture. To secure a spot on the Nasdaq Tower — one of the most coveted digital displays on Earth — is to announce your presence with a roar that echoes across continents. It is a badge of prestige, a testament to financial strength, and a signal that your brand is ready to compete on the highest international level. When a Chinese state‑owned enterprise chooses this very screen to unveil its flagship project, it speaks volumes about its ambition, confidence, and global vision.
HIC: A New Benchmark for the Maritime Silk Road
HIC (Headquarters International Center) is exactly that kind of statement. Developed by Quanzhou Urban Construction Group — a hundred‑billion‑yuan state‑owned powerhouse and the primary driver of the city’s urban expansion — HIC rises along Quanzhou Bay as a pure headquarters landmark cluster. Spanning approximately 570,000 square meters, it comprises 10 standalone headquarters and 13 Grade‑A office towers, all offering independent property rights and full customization for enterprises. But HIC is more than concrete and steel; it weaves the city’s thousand‑year maritime heritage into its very fabric, with design elements inspired by Quanzhou’s intangible cultural heritage — stone carvings, brick carvings, and the spirit of the ancient Silk Road. Together with its seamless integration with the adjacent 80,000‑square‑meter coastal resort commercial precinct — set to open in September 2026 — HIC creates a closed‑loop ecosystem where high‑end business meets vibrant lifestyle, perfectly catering to the return of global Min merchants and the strategic needs of multinational corporations.
A Global Invitation, a New Chapter
By debuting on the Nasdaq screen in Times Square, HIC not only pays tribute to Quanzhou’s historic role as a gateway of global trade but also declares its readiness to connect the city to the world’s most dynamic business networks. This is not just a billboard — it is a beacon. It signals that Quanzhou, with its deep roots and bold vision, is now a serious contender in the global headquarters economy. For investors, partners, and enterprises looking for a strategic foothold in China’s thriving coastal region, HIC extends a standing invitation: come, be part of a landmark that honors the past, embraces the present, and builds the future.
