The business district of Xuhui District has been given a new look and its development prospects are even more spectacular.

Shanghai’s Xujiahui is a famous mature business district in Shanghai, with numerous shopping malls and convenient transportation. However, because this area was developed relatively early, many commercial buildings have been seriously outdated in design, which will affect the future upgrading and progress of the entire business district. Media sources revealed that Xujiahui business district will have 6 major moves. In the future, Xujiahui business district will become even taller!

1. Xujiahui, Shanghai’s number one super urban complex Center

According to the Xuhui District Land and Resources Bureau, the master plan of Xujiahui Center’s planning and design plan was officially announced at the construction site of Xujiahui Center. The announcement of this drawing means that the planning and design plan of Xujiahui Center is almost completely finalized. The on-site announcement The details of the map are as follows:

Xujiahui Center is located at the intersection of Hongqiao Road and Yishan Road, with a land price of 21.7 billion yuan and a total investment of 40 billion Hong Kong dollars. The developer is Hong Kong real estate company Sun Hung Kai, whose landmark projects in Shanghai are Shanghai International Financial Center IFC and Shanghai International Commerce Plaza ICC&iAPM.

Xujiahui Center will build an office building of 380,000 square meters, a shopping mall of 320,000 square meters and a super five-star hotel with more than 200 rooms, positioning it as the first super urban complex in Shanghai.

At the same time, the Xujiahui Center will build the tallest building in Puxi with a height of 370 meters and 70 floors along Hongqiao Road. It will be designed by Cissa Pelli. Construction is expected to start in 2018 and be completed in 2022.

2. Xujiahui Business District Sky Corridor

The first phase of the "Xujiahui Business Circle Sky Corridor" sky garden platform corridor will connect T20 (West Asia Hotel), Metro City and Pacific Digital Phase II will also connect to the existing Xujiahui Overpass.

After the corridor is fully completed, it will connect various commercial buildings in the business district, and the radiation effect of the business district will be further expanded to Xujiahui Center, Xujiahui Park and the Catholic Church, forming a "sky garden" for pedestrians to stroll.

3. Xujiahui Church Square was transformed into Eslite Bookstore

The Xujiahui Catholic Church, completed in 1910, is the largest Catholic church in Shanghai. It was known as Shanghai's third largest Catholic church at the time because of its huge scale. One building. The lobby was renovated on Christmas Eve 1980. In 1982, two cross iron towers, each weighing 13 tons, were reinstalled on the bell tower. In the 1990s, the door of the church used to be the West District Long-distance Bus Station.

The comprehensive renovation of Xujiahui Church Square will include the Eslite Bookstore with 3 floors above ground and 2 floors underground, and the entire basement of the square in front of the church will be hollowed out to build a garage. Some existing buildings have been demolished, and the front of the church will also be renovated. The greening of the square and the surrounding landscape have undergone an overall transformation. After the transformation, the square has a wider view and the landscape architecture is more prominent.

4. Pacific Digital will be demolished and rebuilt

As a representative of the devastating blow suffered by e-commerce, the second phase of Pacific Digital City has ceased operations and will be demolished and rebuilt as a shopping mall focusing on leisure and entertainment. The plan proposed by the French company Jacques, the designer of the French Pavilion at the World Expo, is an "irregular pentagon". In the future, the dining spaces above the fifth floor will be equipped with overhead balconies. When the sun sets, overlooking the busy traffic of Xujiahui, there will be a "Sunset Boulevard" A different kind of scenery.

5. Metro City Transformed into "Star Theater"

The 5th floor of Metro City will be transformed into the "Star Theater", a boutique theater with 800 seats. The home of the show. "The predecessor of Metro City is the Xuhui Theater. For many years, we have wanted to 'give Xuhui a theater'.

The overall planning and renovation of Metro City has been started in 2010, at a rate of one street per year It will be launched on Wufan Street in 2010, Oufeng Street in 2013, Luo Wei Road in 2014, and the Art Gallery in 2015.

The roof garden project will also be launched at the end of this year or early next year. I hope it will be launched. To create the feeling of "Castle in the Sky" in Hayao Miyazaki's movie, the rooftop garden plans to introduce rooftop coffee, cheongsam show, and combine it with culture.

Sixth, Reconstruction of West Asia Hotel

Located in the hotel. The West Asia Hotel next to Metro City has been demolished, and the T20 building is under construction. The two underground floors of the building will be used as commercial space, and the vertical greening around the facade will penetrate into the underground space and give up nearly 4,000 square meters on the first and second floors. A large public parking lot will be built on the 3rd and 4th floors of the T20 building in exchange for open urban public space, and the 6th and 7th floors will become urban public spaces. A transition between private space and private office space, floors 8 to 12 are standard office floors.

As the "finishing touch" of the entire building, a small cultural venue will be built on the top 13 floors of the building, with a floor height of 8.6 meters, "floating" above the central area of ??Xujiahui. The surrounding glass partition walls not only block wind and noise to ensure comfort, but also turn the dense and bustling urban scene of Xuhui District into a stage background, allowing the audience to have a fantastic visual experience. There will also be a rooftop garden.
