On the morning of January 8, the construction of Baoshan Guotai Life Science and Technology Park, located in Songnan Town, Baoshan District, officially started, with a total investment of about 1.39 billion yuan.
In the past 8 years, when it comes to it, people think of "unfinished buildings". The location of the project plot is conspicuous, at the junction of Yangpu Baoshan, but due to problems such as industrial positioning and shortage of funds of the project builder, it has been interrupted and shelved for a long time after the completion of part of the civil structure.
At present, the scaffolding erected and the roar of machines announce the revival plan of the plot - the former "urban scar" will focus on the biomedical industry and build a professional industrial park integrating medical data platform + life science and technology business incubator + scientific research project channel services.
For Songnan Town, Baoshan District, where the project is located, the park will serve as an important node of the "M3 Science and Technology Innovation Corridor" after completion, forming a linkage with other park carriers in the corridor, releasing the superposition effect, and providing strong impetus for regional transformation and industrial level improvement.

Vacate the cage for birds: aim at biomedicine, in exchange for the development of new engines
How to dispose of the unfinished land is a problem that has long lingered in the minds of the leading group of the party committee and government of Songnan Town.
"The key is how to efficiently use high-quality land resources and 'exchange' for a suitable project that is in line with the actual development of Songnan and helps Baoshan's 'northern transformation'. Cao Weiyuan, deputy secretary of the Party Committee and mayor of Songnan Town, said that in the past few years, many companies have expressed their intention to take over, but they either want to do logistics yards or rebuild them into small commodity markets. ”
Plan before you act. After leading more than 20 partners to conduct on-site inspections and repeated consultations and negotiations, in 2022, Songnan Town and Beijing Guotai Science Park Co., Ltd., an investment and operation enterprise of Beijing Guotai Venture Capital Group's high-tech industrial park, successfully "joined hands".
"In recent years, the domestic biomedical industry has developed rapidly, and the biomedical industry is one of the three leading industries in Shanghai, and it is also the main direction of Baoshan District to promote industrial transformation. The partner of Cathay Science Park said.

The project site is separated by the Jiangwan Campus of Fudan University, adjacent to Yangpu Bay Valley Science and Technology Park, and the surrounding commercial and living facilities are complete, with an academic atmosphere and fireworks. Get on the train at South Changjiang Road Station and take Rail Transit Line 18 directly to Zhangjiang, connecting the park with the core area of Shanghai biomedical R&D. "At the beginning of the planning, we decided to focus on R&D, supporting and sharing experimental platforms and animal rooms, undertaking the spillover effect of Zhangjiang, and developing in tandem with the industrial chain. The goal of the park, according to the partners of Cathay Science Park, is to allow scientists to travel light, "bring papers and toothbrushes, roll up their sleeves and do it." ”
Location advantage
To do a park, it is not a house that starts to attract investment. Considering that biopharmaceutical enterprises have many personalized needs, and different technological processes have different requirements for the layout of internal pipelines in the building, Baoshan Guotai Life Science and Technology Park adopts a customized plant model, which is adjusted according to the needs of enterprises in the design stage, saving time for all parties.
Recently, the park has received a lot of interested customers. Some enterprises hope to book a single R&D building as a verification laboratory to strengthen cooperation with surrounding universities in the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. Aiming at the R&D experimental equipment leasing needs of the enterprises settled in the park in the future, some enterprises will register and establish a company in Songnan first, and set up a headquarters here to conduct business in the future.
Breaking the "shackles": departmental coordination, and the progress of the implementation of the wall chart operation
In a conference room of the Songnan Town Government, there is a project promotion table, which records in detail each key time node and responsible departments and persons in charge of the "Nirvana Rebirth" of the plot from the industrial access in June 2022.
At the end of last year, the Baoshan Guotai Life Science and Technology Park project obtained the "Construction Land Planning Permit", "Construction Engineering Design Plan Approval", "Construction Project Planning Permit" and "Construction Project Construction Permit". On the day when the four certificates were complete, the Secretary of the Party Committee of Songnan Town added a piece to the project promotion table and shared the news on WeChat Moments. "Songnan Town has shown the spirit of perseverance, set up a special working group for urban renewal and industrial transformation of the town, anchored the goal, and implemented the project progress on the wall chart. In the process of solving the problems left over from history and promoting the high-quality utilization of land resources, it has received professional guidance and services from the municipal and district planning and capital bureaus, the district construction management committee and other departments. ”
The project plot was originally used for industrial storage, and the upper limit of the plot ratio was only 1.0. As a key sector that has been included in the development of the main urban area, the nature and intensity of the original land use cannot effectively match the needs of industrial introduction and urban development. In order to build a biomedical industrial park, it is necessary to solve the problem of land nature change and expansion. To this end, Songnan Town took the initiative to connect with the Municipal and District Planning and Resources Bureaus, and Baoshan District then carried out the "Local Adjustment of the 05 Neighborhood of the Regulatory Detailed Planning of Unit N12-0102 of Hejiawan Industrial Zone, Baoshan District, Shanghai", which obtained the approval of the adjustment of control regulations, and at the same time adjusted the nature of the planned land, from the original industrial land to the land for education, scientific research and design (C6), and the plot ratio was increased to 2.5, opening up development space for the subsequent introduction of high-quality industries.
The once unfinished plot of land ushered in a new life
Rather than leveling a plot of land to raise a tall building, the project also involved the partial preservation and demolition of existing buildings. Songnan Town took the initiative to connect with the District Planning and Resources Bureau and the District Construction Management Committee to study the feasibility plan for the demolition of the ground building part in view of the technical problems of the original building part retained. "In order to promote the early start of construction of the project, Baoshan District has designated a business commissioner for major industrial projects to keep close contact with us and the design unit. Carry out the pre-review of the industrial project plan in advance, and put forward optimization suggestions on the urban style, façade design, setback spacing, etc., to help form an internal layout and external architectural form that can not only make full use of the existing column network and basement, but also match the biomedical industry. The partner of Cathay Science Park introduced.

At present, the "shackles" restricting the development of the east side of Yixian Road have been broken, providing an innovative practice path for Baoshan to explore urban renewal and industrial transformation. To the west of Songhang Road, Baoshan Guotai Life Science and Technology Park and the previously started Parkview Green commercial project are in full swing of construction. With the improvement of these two "puzzle pieces", the scientific and technological innovation elements along the "M3 Science and Technology Innovation Corridor" will also accelerate the agglomeration and further promote the transformation of the regional economic structure.
