Shanghai Ankangyuan, the redevelopment of a multi block site near Suzhou Creek and the Bund, promises to be a unique urban center that combines historical restoration and iconic verticality in a carefully orchestrated urban re-generation. Planned on an unusually large site for a core city location, the project encompasses a careful inventory, dismantling & reconstruction of existing historic structures. The reconfigured historical structures will be converted to boutique retail and restaurants and connected to the 320m mixed use tower. This redevelopment is destined to be a larger and more popular urban village of fashion, entertainment, hospitality and fine dining when completed by 2020.
