The urban complex and commercial property project will become a lifestyle hot spot for the Hangzhou residents.
Joy City's "343" brand management system will be applied to the project so that brands which have already proven successful in other Joy Cities will be introduced to the one in Hangzhou. Hangzhou Joy City will replicate the Joy City brand's unique architectural style, featuring Sky Walkways and an open atrium to project a "youthful, fashionable, trendy and quality" image of the brand, targeting the city's middle-class customers aged between 18 and 35.

At the southern side of the project, a port will be built at the bank of the Grand Canal, which links Beijing with Hangzhou and is a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site. Consumers will be able to start a boat trip at the port to reach Wulinmen port and Xixi National Wetland Park directly, allowing them to enjoy shopping at Hangzhou Joy City and a boat tour of the park. In addition, Hangzhou Joy City will be the first of all the Joy Cities to launch an outdoor commercial district where all types of shops will be opened for business round the clock, and is thus likely to become the unique hot spot to attract hundreds of millions of tourists who tour Hangzhou.
