Hassell x Park Avenue Central
Redefines Shanghai's urban mixed-use: a generous, open, biophilic community space creating a sanctuary in the city.
Social connection: reinterprets communal qualities of neighbouring lanes for a modern civic outcome.
Good neighbour: a tower that respects daylight, connects neighbouring residences through generous native gardens.
Every great city has main streets with big-name drawcards. Often, tucked behind them are treasure troves of hidden culture. Park Avenue Central is a green sanctuary where these two worlds meet.
In the heart of Shanghai's coveted Jing'An District, Park Avenue Central sets a new standard in mixed-use precincts, providing tenants and visitors with fresh, diverse experiences. This future-focused, fully integrated development blends premium office space with retail and hospitality in a vibrant, green public landscape.
We worked with Keppel Land, one of Asia's leading developers, on every aspect of this landmark commercial precinct from urban design and landscape to architecture and interiors. The development sets the sustainability bar high by creating a place that boosts the health and wellbeing of occupants while enhancing the city.
Park Avenue Central takes inspiration from Shanghai's culture and character, and its unexpected yet abundant nature. It's this duality of modernity and tradition that makes Shanghai one of the most unique cities in the world, a quality reflected across the design with the creation of new public spaces — from intimate moments to generous squares and terraces, connected to branded food and beverage offerings, shopping experiences and the new Grade A commercial tower which rises into the dense and busy skyline.
重塑上海城市综合体形态：打造开放、包容、亲自然的社区空间，于城市之中构建一处静谧绿洲。
社交连接：以现代公共空间形式重新诠释周边里弄的社区属性。
友好共生：塔楼设计充分尊重自然采光，通过大面积本土植物景观连接周边居住环境。
每一座伟大的城市，都有引人瞩目的主街与地标；而在其背后，往往隐藏着丰富而独特的文化空间。吉宝静安中心正是连接这两种城市体验的一处绿色栖息地。
坐落于上海核心的静安区，吉宝静安中心重新定义了城市综合体的标准，为租户与访客带来多元且富有活力的体验。该项目以未来为导向，实现高度一体化开发，将高品质办公空间与零售及餐饮业态融合于充满生机的绿色公共环境之中。
我们与亚洲领先开发商之一吉宝置业（Keppel Land）紧密合作，全面参与这一地标性商业综合体的打造，涵盖城市设计、景观设计、建筑及室内设计等各个层面。项目以高标准的可持续发展理念为引领，在提升使用者健康与福祉的同时，也为城市整体环境赋能。
吉宝静安中心从上海的城市文化与独特气质中汲取灵感，将现代性与传统性相融合——正是这种双重特质，使上海成为全球最具魅力的城市之一。这一理念贯穿于整体设计之中，通过打造多层次公共空间——从精致的街角空间到开阔的广场与露台，并与品牌餐饮、零售体验及一座拔地而起的甲级写字楼有机衔接，共同融入繁忙而密集的城市天际线。
