Amber Bay Housing, Dalian Amber Bay Development Co, Parkland Group, Union Trust

The Amber Bay Resort is a located on a spectacular site on the Liaodong Peninsula, outside the leading port city of Dalian, China. The serene site is backed by the Qianshan Mountain range and bordered by the Bohai Sea to the west and the Yellow Sea to the east. This breathtaking peninsula location provides views and access to an expansive beach toward the southwest, and to a picturesque ravine leading to a more secluded beach to the northeast. The siting protectively embraces the project in the tradition of Feng Shui. The project will include ten villas; 58,000 square meters of townhouse and condominium units; clubhouse/recreational amenities; and retail components. Amber Bay Resort will create a new paradigm for coastal residential development in China by focusing on respect for the land and harmony with nature. This is achieved through a design that maximizes the sense of openness and reduces the apparent density by closely relating the building masses to the existing geography.
