Chinese internet behemoth Tencent is building a city the size of Midtown Manhattan in China for employees, complete with offices, residences, schools, and retail spaces.

Designed by NBBJ — an architecture firm with designs for Google, Samsung, and Amazon under its belt — Net City will be built from the ground up on 320 acres in Shenzhen, China, and will be completed in seven years, as The Wall Street Journal reported.

The master-planned city project is one of the latest launched by a tech company that proposes providing a sprawling campus where employees can work, live, and play.
