Guanshanhu, aiming to be the core development district for the Southwest Region's economy, has completed 161 commercial buildings, among which 20 generate over one billion yuan in tax revenue, and 17 are specialized structures.

To date, the two districts have drawn many prominent companies, including regional offices of Huawei, Tencent, and Guizhou Bank, creating industry clusters in finance, big data, and modern services. Moving forward, Guiyang aims to advance the shift of its building economy towards specialization and high quality, intensify business model enhancements, and boost the capacity and brand strength of its building sector.
