Construction of the China Pharmaceutical Harbor, part of the Lianyungang Development Zone, has made smooth progress.

In the harbor, a public service center with a floor area of 850,000 sqm was completed. Main work was finished to build a 270,000 sqm industrial park for the high-end chemical preparations for pharmaceutical purposes. Construction of the business and living support area of 380,000 sqm is about to start soon.

Pharmaceutical industry is seen as the pillar industry in the coastal city. As early as September 2018, the city put forward the idea of building the China Pharmaceutical Harbor, which late involved an investment of 9 billion yuan for its core site to host  pharmaceutical companies.

The project forecasts a layout of one core site and two wing parks. The core site over a land area of 6 km² will have buildings with a total floor area of 1.5 million sqm, which will be used for exhibition, R&D, intelligent production and support facilities. The two wing parks over a planned land area of 30 km² are used for companies specialized in biological drugs, chemical drugs, APIs, medical devices, medical food, pharmaceutical excipients and equipment in its west section, and  chemical preparations for pharmaceutical purposes, modern Chinese medicine, and medical packaging materials, in its east section.

The harbor will speed up construction this year and give priority to ten key projects including the warehousing and logistics capacity, and building a professional service team.

The west section of the harbor is already home to 53 projects with a total investment of 10 billion yuan and an expected annual sales revenue of 30 billion yuan. This booming development also means the section’s utilization rate in the first phase of development has reached 80%.
