The Amber Bay residential development is located on a beautiful rocky promontory that is among the last available parcels along the Dalian shoreline, southeast of the city center. The project features high-end low density modern style residential development including single family villas, townhouses, and low-rise condominiums; shops and seafood restaurants on the shoreline frontage; a specialty hotel and visitor facilities on the peninsula; and a clubhouse with driving range on the inland area. A central pedestrian spine imparts a poetic recall of a ravine, connecting the lower highway and the retail center with the upper highway and the nearby hilltop pavilion into one continuous pedestrian environment. The site plan reflects the dramatic shoreline geology, and respects existing topography, vegetation, and coastal views.
