HKRI Taikoo Hui is finally opening its doors to the public! A project six months in the making, the new mall will house over 250 brands, 20 independent boutiques and 45 dining outlets, making it one of the most anticipated launches this year. 


Iconic Dining and Shopping Landmark

The 100,000m² mall is finally open!


Since its opening in 2002, HKRI Taikoo Hui has seen several milestones, from being part of the MRT transport planning to preserving a several century old magnolia tree and the Cha Mansion. With the recent renovations, the company has pumped in RMB 17 billion to fund the renovation works. 



Located in the culturally rich Jing’an district, some of the key events that have happened here include being the former residence of Zhang Ailing, birth of Shanghai TV Station and Wujianglu Snack Street and the preservation of the Shanghai style Shikumen.



Looking at the other Taikoo Hui outlets in the region, the Hong Kong branch created an elevated hall in the 38-storey building, redefining the shopping experience for its visitors. 



If you’re tired of shopping, head out to the street and be captivated by the beautiful architecture along the Shimenyi Lu and Wujiang Lu corner. Part of the mall’s space will be occupied by China’s first Starbucks roastery, which you can already tell will be enormous.



Within the HKRI Taikoo Hui lies two roof gardens, which helps with keeping the place cool and providing a panoramic view of Weihai Lu and Cha Mansion for visitors. The roof garden comes with plenty of sitting space, perfect for weekend picnics, exhibitions, small events, parties and more. 



Well-equipped with gardening tools and planted with different types of shrubs, flowers and plants, the designer wanted to create a different beautiful sight each season, and achieved it through the study of the different plant species and their blooming period. In the near future, the company plans to rent out this space to event organizers, giving them a lovely balcony to host their events. 


Aquastell
