Location
HKRI Taikoo Hui is located in central Jing'an District on the busy shopping street of Nanjing Road. It accessible by foot from a large transport interchange on the Shanghai metro, where lines 2, 12 and 13 converge.[6] The shopping centre is also located close to Yan'an Elevated Road and the North-South Elevated Road, two of Shanghai's major highways.[7]
The Dazhongli site upon which HKRI Taikoo Hui was built was first acquired in 2002. The launch of the project, a 50:50 joint venture between HKR International and Swire Properties was announced in 2006.[6] Designed by Wong & Ouyang, the mixed use project was topped out in November 2015 in a ceremony with Zhou Haiying, Deputy Governor of Jing'an District.[8] The mall celebrated its grand opening in May 2017 [9] with The Middle House, a 111-room hotel designed by Italian architect Piero Lissoni, opening in April 2018.[2]
