Information

The Shimao Riverfront Wisdom Towers is a mixed-use development located near the interchange between the airport express highway and Qiantang River Bridge Crossing. It emerges as a critical urban node for the city of Hangzhou. The complex includes office towers, an apartment building, retail annex and a park for the public. This project is envisioned as a significant urban gateway, featuring twin towers approximately 280 meters tall, for the IoT area and surrounding smart industry belt. The project provides 370,000 square meters of new office, residential and retail space. The development is organized as five buildings surrounding a green, public space to stimulate casual gathering and exchange. The horizontal undulating façade of the annex imitates the form of the adjacent river, providing a pedestrian friendly atmosphere. Unlike conventional commercial high-density mixed-use developments, this project optimizes public open space. The site is open from all sides, attracting visitors from all directions.
