Jing An Kerry Centre, Mixed-use skyscraper complex in Jing'an District, Shanghai, China
Description
Jing An Kerry Centre is a mixed-use complex in Jing'an District featuring three towers of varying heights positioned along Nanjing West Road. The development combines office space, retail areas, hotel facilities, and residential units within its interconnected structure.
History
Construction occurred in two phases, with the first tower completed in 1998 and the remaining towers finished in 2013 after building began in 2009. This staggered development reflects how the district adapted to growing demand for modern office and retail space over the decades.
Culture
The complex preserves a residential space where Mao Zedong stayed during the 1920s, creating a direct link between modern commercial development and early 20th-century Chinese history. This presence allows visitors to see how contemporary Shanghai layered itself over significant moments from the past.
Practical
The complex covers extensive ground with clear signage and navigation points to help visitors move between different sections and facilities. Most public areas and retail zones remain accessible throughout standard business hours, making it straightforward to explore at your own pace.
Did you know?
The complex earned LEED Gold certification by using locally sourced materials, efficient mechanical systems, and sustainable construction methods. This achievement stands out in Shanghai's rapid urban development as evidence that large tower projects can integrate environmental responsibility from the ground up.
