K11 (also referred to as K11 Art Mall) is a retail complex situated on Huaihai Lu within the Xintiandi district of the former Luwan District, Shanghai, China. This 278-meter-tall structure, crafted by Bregman and Hamann Architects, comprises six floors above ground and three subterranean levels, covering an approximate area of 40,000 m2. It faces People's Square across the Yan'an Elevated Road. Originally known as the Hong Kong New World Tower (), the building was rebranded and reopened as K11 on May 28, 2013.
Background
Conceived as a blend of commerce and art, K11 was developed in response to China's expanding cultural landscape. Initiated by the K11 Art Foundation under the leadership of Hong Kong billionaire Adrian Cheng, this Shanghai venue followed the inaugural K11 Art Mall established in Hong Kong in 2009. The K11 Shanghai branch forms part of a larger initiative to build a "K11 art ecosystem" across key Chinese cities including Wuhan and Guangzhou. Cheng’s vision is to offer a platform that democratizes art, encouraging Chinese creative expression both nationally and globally, thereby positioning K11 as a significant cultural and commercial destination.
