Headquartered in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China, Leapmotor was founded in 2015 as a technology-driven intelligent electric vehicle company. Committed to the full-stack in-house development of core technologies, Leapmotor independently develops and manufactures high-value core components accounting for 65% of total vehicle cost. It has become the first emerging EV brand in China to surpass 100,000 deliveries in a single month and now ranks among the leaders of the country’s new energy vehicle industry.
As the company enters a new phase of growth, its headquarters will serve not only as a center for office and R&D functions, but also as a vital platform connecting the organization, innovation, brand, and city. The new global headquarters will provide an important spatial framework for Leapmotor’s brand evolution, organizational development, and international expansion.
Located in the core Olympic Sports district of Binjiang, Hangzhou, the site sits adjacent to the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Expo Center, at a key node along the city’s central axis and the Qiantang River development corridor. Opening toward the Qiantang River and overlooking Qianjiang New City CBD across the water, it offers expansive river views to the north, west, and east, making it a rare waterfront urban asset in Binjiang.
