Description

Cathay View Courtyard Residences is the first traditional Chinese-style high-end villa property in Beijing. The development offers a prime investment opportunity with a distinctive competitive advantage in the expatriate lease market – the cultural experience of China combined with a Western interior design. The project has a total surface area of 48 hectares and features 320 villas. The first phase will be ready for move-in by November 2005.

Location
Cathay View is strategically located in the North Eastern part of Chaoyang District, the part of Beijing's international suburban villa district closest to Beijing's CBD and the airport expressway. It is located in ultimate proximity to the Western Academy of Bejing, one of Beijing's major international schools.

Master planning
The master planning reflects the principles of Beijing's ancient urban planning – centric symmetry, squared units and an intricate network of streets, alleys and narrow hutongs.

Landscaping
Chinese century-old horticultural traditions, the spirit of Feng Shui as well as the esthetics of Chinese landscape paintings have visibly inspired Cathay View's landscapes, parks and gardens.

Villa design
A Chinese courtyard design combined with the comfort of a Western contemporary layout – a traditional dark red entrance gate, traditional windows in the surrounding walls, the typical pitch roofs of North China covered by cylindrical tiles, slightly slanted ridges, wall surfaces in the tones of local stones all add up to form an authentic cultural experience.
