The permanent site of the IFF project is located on the eastern tip of Hengli Island at the starting area of Pearl Bay. It is being constructed by China Gezhouba Group Corporation (CGGC).

The project boasts a "kapok in full bloom" design concept. It utilizes a truss and grid steel structure as the "skeleton," the pure white metal roof and decorative aluminum plate serve as its "petals," while the glass lighting roof is its "stamen," which together form a "blooming kapok."

At present, the steel structure construction of the International Financial Forum (IFF) Permanent Site project and the steel structure construction of the International Conference Center have been completed.

In addition, the installation of civil engineering, as well as mechanical and electrical equipment has been completed, with the project expected to be fully completed in 2023.

The curtain wall of the center is composed of 12 systems, including a UHPC（Ultra-High Performance Concrete）curtain wall and a PTFE（Poly tetra fluoroethylene) membrane curtain wall, a total of 85,000 sqm curtain walls will be installed.

It is being installed from bottom to top, with different curtain wall systems being divided into different construction zones according to the plane and elevation conditions.
