江廈街道地處寧波市最繁華的商貿、文化中心,轄區商業資源豐富,人文氛圍濃郁,文化底蘊深厚,素有“走遍天下,不如寧波江廈”的美稱。街道轄區面積1.65平方公里,常住人口近3萬人,下轄4個社區居委會。
轄區商業繁華,人氣旺盛。位于街道境內的寧波天一廣場總投資12.5億元,總建筑面積22萬平方米,是目前國內最大的集商貿、購物、餐飲、休閑為一體的城市中心商業廣場,廣場擁有樂購超市、蘇寧家電連鎖店、吉盛偉邦家具、星巴克咖啡等一批品牌知名度高的企業,2005年天一廣場榮獲“中國商業特色街”稱號。中國現存規模最大的城隍廟之一的寧波城隍廟也位于街道轄區,城隍廟在建筑風格上集我國明、清古建筑藝術之精華,堪稱“浙東一絕”,是各地來寧波旅游的必到之地,也是當地商賈云集之處。同時,銀泰百貨、第二百貨商店等眾多寧波較具影響的大型商場也位于街道境內。
轄區商務辦公樓宇林立,樓高在15層以上的商務辦公樓宇有16幢,如寧波比較有影響的世界貿易中心、世紀廣場、華聯寫字樓、中保大廈、中國銀行寧波分行等商務樓宇均列其中。這些辦公樓宇廣泛吸引著各類企業進駐辦公,其中不乏一批國際跨國公司的寧波分公司、辦事處。同時一批在建的25層以上的辦公樓宇,如天一豪景、都市仁和、嘉和中心等都有望在近期建成,這些都為街道轄區經濟的持續發展提供了較好保障。

近年來,江廈街道黨工委、辦事處按照“打造新江廈,展現新風貌”的要求,緊緊抓住發展這個第一要務,充分發揮轄區商務樓宇林立的載體優勢,以發展樓宇經濟為重點,加大招商力度,調整引資政策,優化服務環境,使浙江長城建設集團寧波分公司、浙江三林地產控股集團公司、溫州建設集團寧波分公司、金凱達投資有限公司等一批區外、市外的大企業相繼落戶到街道。2005年1至7月,街道累計實現稅收9275萬元,引進各類企業98家,注冊資金總額達2.25億元。
在寧波市海曙區委、區政府的正確領導下,江廈街道黨工委、辦事處將進一步結合區域實際,發揮區域優勢,與時俱進,開拓創新,努力把江廈轄區建設成為寧波“商務活動的舞臺、市民生活的樂園、都市文明的窗口”。
