Opened in 2012, Raffles City is a multi-use development located on Renmin South Road in the South of Chengdu. Featuring office and residential space in addition to an expansive mall, Raffles City is among the most lauded premium property developments in Chengdu.
A feature of the development’s planning is luring the surrounding pedestrian thoroughfares into and over the site to come together in a pleasant open public plaza of water features, gardens and public art. Sun penetrates to the site, allowing daylight and breezes to access the central elevated public plaza. The plaza is the roof of the interconnecting retail podium and allows the site to be traversable to pedestrians and the community.
Partner Wulan was the project architect while with a previous firm.
