GLP Group Delivers 30,000 SQM Industrial Facility at The Cube Shenzhen for Xiaomi Auto

SINGAPORE AND SHANGHAI, Feb. 23, 2026 — GLP Group has delivered a 30,000-square-meter vehicle delivery center at The Cube Shenzhen Longhua to Xiaomi Auto, marking the completion of what the automaker describes as its largest national delivery facility. The announcement highlights a growing trend in multi-story industrial real estate development driven by acute land constraints in high-density urban hubs like Shenzhen.

A New Benchmark in Multi-Story Industrial Real Estate

The Cube Shenzhen Longhua is an 89,000-square-meter integrated complex that includes a nine-story main industrial building and a 12-story R&D office tower. The facility has received LEED Gold certification and was designed to address the land scarcity challenges common to high-density manufacturing and logistics hubs in the Greater Bay Area.

GLP developed the project by applying international benchmarks for floor loading, ceiling heights, and heavy-duty vertical circulation — specifications that allow the complex to serve production, research and development, and premium retail functions simultaneously. The project represents a departure from traditional single-story logistics blueprints, reflecting a broader shift in industrial real estate development toward vertical, multi-use facilities capable of accommodating next-generation industries.

"We are redefining industrial infrastructure by creating next-generation, high-performance facilities specifically engineered for the new economy. Automotive and advanced manufacturing companies now make up a growing proportion of our customer base, giving GLP deep, on-the-ground insight into the sector's technical requirements," said Angela Zhao, CEO of GLP China. "The Cube is a prime example of how we leverage our global perspective to introduce international design standards which meet the needs of local new economy industries, allowing us to support our customers' long-term expansion plans."

Xiaomi Auto's Flagship Delivery Center

Xiaomi Auto's 30,000-square-meter space within The Cube will function as its national vehicle delivery center, integrating vehicle sales, handover, after-sales services, and new vehicle storage within a single facility. The center has the capacity to deliver up to 36 vehicles concurrently and is positioned to serve customers across the Greater Bay Area as well as the broader Shenzhen–Dongguan region.

According to a representative from Xiaomi Auto Shenzhen cited in GLP's announcement, the new delivery center was completed in under five months from contract signing to move-in.

Strategic Location in the Greater Bay Area

The Cube is situated in Shenzhen's Longhua district, a high-density industrial hub that forms part of the Greater Bay Area — a region recognized for its concentration of innovation, technology, and advanced manufacturing activity. The location offers transport connectivity and access to both domestic and international markets, factors that GLP cited as central to the site's appeal for new energy vehicle companies.

GLP China's Industrial Real Estate Development Strategy

GLP China has positioned The Cube as a model for how industrial campuses can be engineered to meet the technical requirements of emerging industries, including electric vehicles, advanced manufacturing, and R&D-intensive sectors. The firm noted that automotive and advanced manufacturing tenants represent a growing share of its customer base in China.

The Cube's mixed-use configuration — combining office space in the 12-story R&D tower with industrial space in the nine-story main building — reflects a broader evolution in how developers are approaching industrial real estate in land-constrained urban markets.
