commercial hub
Business district core
A commercial hub is a place where business and trade concentrate—a city, district, or facility that serves as a center of economic activity.
The term emphasizes connectivity and flow: goods, services, and people pass through hubs on their way elsewhere.
Singapore became a commercial hub for Southeast Asian trade.
The new development will serve as a commercial hub for the region.
