City Centre Extension, Hongqiao, Shanghai

Located immediately next to the established City Centre retail and office complex on the main road leading to the nearby metro station, this site has zoning for a mixed-use development comprising office and retail facilities and is currently being planned as a natural extension to the existing shopping centre.

It is currently anticipated that development will commence in early 2009. World-renowned retail architects Benoy has been appointed to design this important project that will not only strengthen the existing asset but improve the overall critical mass of retail accommodation in the district.

The current plan includes additional retail accommodation along with a new Grade A office tower. The office tower will be LEED gold certified to conform with specific environmental and sustainability criteria. Technical design issues are currently being satisfied, including day/sunlight analysis, green area assessment and traffic impact – all of which will be incorporated into the design to conform to government requirements.
