HKRI Taikoo Hui () represents a comprehensive mixed-use complex located on West Nanjing Road in Shanghai, China. This development comprises two office skyscrapers, an expansive retail center housing 250 brand outlets, 102 serviced apartments, and a boutique hotel named The Middle House with 111 rooms.[1] In late 2017, Starbucks introduced a Reserve Roastery at this location, marking the largest Starbucks establishment worldwide at that time.[2][3][4]

Location

Positioned in the heart of Jing'an District, HKRI Taikoo Hui occupies a prime spot along the renowned shopping avenue of Nanjing Road. It lies within easy walking distance from West Nanjing Road station on the Shanghai metro, where lines 2, 12, and 13 converge.[5] Additionally, the site enjoys convenient access to key expressways such as Yan'an Elevated Road and the North-South Elevated Road.[6]

History and construction

The land parcel known as Dazhongli was secured in 2002 for the development of HKRI Taikoo Hui. Officially announced in 2006, this venture is a joint partnership equally held by HKR International and Swire Properties. The architectural design was undertaken by Wong & Ouyang, with the structure reaching its full height in November 2015 during a topping-out ceremony attended by Zhou Haiying, Deputy Governor of Jing'an District. The retail mall commenced operations in May 2017, followed by the opening of The Middle House hotel—a 111-room establishment crafted by Italian designer Piero Lissoni—in April 2018.
