Construction of a main campus for the Shenzhen Software Park has been ongoing for the past couple of years on a 270,000 square meter site located on the west-central side of the Shenzhen High-tech Park (SHIP). The location is ideal, close to downtown, yet in a quiet area of town. Construction on Phase I of the main campus was completed in October of 2004, occupies 67,000 square meters of land, and has over 95,000 square meters of office space. Over 40 large software companies now make it home. Construction on Phase II of the main campus began in November, 2005, with completion expected by the end of 2006. This project will occupy 46,000 square meters of land and provide 124,000 square meters of office space.

The Shenzhen municipal government also has invested ¥265 Million (RMB) into the construction of a 100,000 square meter high-rise building called the “Software Building” and it will occupy 40,000 square meters of land. This project, which will begin in late-2005 is schedudled for completion in 2007. After completion, the Software Building will extend the ability of the Shenzhen Software Park to provide services and facilities to incubate additional new startup companies. In this way the Shenzhen municipal government plays an important role in developing the local software industry.
