Beijing Changyang Station TOD

A sustainable transit-oriented development relies on CallisonRTKL’s extensive retail knowledge for the best possible result.

Striving to develop a landmark transit-oriented development that integrates walkability, environmental consciousness and commercial viability, CallisonRTKL’s urban design team leveraged the firm’s extensive retail expertise to maximize return on investment. The team’s main challenge was to meet a variety of required transportation programs on a relatively small parcel of land, including district and city bus terminals, transit headquarters, public security offices, parking and integration with the adjacent metro rail station. Accordingly, the building is centered on a five-story atrium that serves as the passenger terminal lobby. Green terraces stepping back from the atrium and a free flowing roof enhance the building’s organic design and landscaping, while the team incorporated sustainable elements at every step of the design process to meet Beijing’s increasingly stringent efficiency guidelines.
