Huishan Waterfront

Shanghai, China

Huishan North Bund is the centerpiece of an extensive waterfront revitalization which extends for nearly 3 kilometers along the Huangpu River in downtown Shanghai. This project is the anchor redevelopment for the transformation of the long neglected Hongkou District of Shanghai. Huishan North Bund will extend the riverfront esplanade of the historic, Neo-Classical Bund further eastward, while leveraging the sites valuable water asset and setting to support a multi-building, office-led, mixed-use development that will enjoy unparalleled views of both the historic Bund and the commercial towers of Pudong lying directly across the river. The public plaza that sponsors the many buildings will vary in design and character, will be enlivened by retail activity at both the plaza and concourse l evels, and will be porous along its landside edges-inviting people to easily access and enjoy the riverfront setting. The development further facilitates public access by making convenient connections to ferry, subway, and bus. Acknowledging Shanghais and Hongkou Districts long lived history as a busy river port, Huishan North Bund will feature two marinas, accommodating yachts up to 30 meters in length, as the showpiece and feature attraction of this unique, waterfront neighborhood.
