Yujiapu Financial District (Chinese: 于家堡金融区; pinyin: Yújiāpù Jīnróng Qū) is a skyscraper development in China's Tianjin Binhai New Area currently being built as a potential center of world finance.[1]

The district is being developed with a total investment of about 200 billion yuan, and is located on the Haihe River North Shore, with Xiangluowan Business District and TEDA. Also, the Yujiapu Financial District is an APEC low-carbon demonstration town.[2] The district was expected to open in June 2014,[3] but has suffered from a construction slowdown. [4]
