Hangzhou Center is a high-end, retail-led destination located in the city’s most valuable quarter, sitting opposite the popular Wulin Square, with an aim to deliver a next-generation retail and commercial ecosystem.

The design is inspired by Hangzhou's landscape, forming an elegant commercial addition to the district. The façade references classical Chinese paintings depicting the city and its traditional pavilions, Baoshi Mountain and famous West Lake.

The development is integrated with a luxury hotel and Grade A office buildings, creating a prominent mixed-use hub for Hangzhou.
