Grand Gateway, designed by the
American Architecture firm, Callison Architecture, Inc.,
is an interconnected complex of shopping mall, office
towers and residences. Functionally, the three commercial
uses support each other; in physical appearance, the
three structures reflect the grandeur of each other.
Grand Gateway Plaza is the shopping mall; Grand Gateway
Towers I & II, the development's office towers, house
grade A office space; Grand Gateway Serviced Apartments
are residences with guest services of a western style
hotel.
The main entrance to Grand Gateway
Plaza is spacious and bright. Coming from the subway
exit, customers enter into the 2, 500 square meter outside
plaza with its six tier lighted fountain ensemble and
a 39-step grand stairway to the second floor main entrance.
Inside, the shopping mall contains seven floors (six
above ground and one below ground) with a total shopping
area of more than 7,000 square meters. The floors are
neatly and logically divided into retail, entertainment,
recreation and dining areas. Grand Gateway Plaza is
a stylish "must go" destination for Shanghai
shoppers. Infused with vigor, the immensely spacious
shopping mall features a unique glass-domed atrium,
35m high and 45.6 m. in diameter, which allows natural
light to flow into the interior. It gives a sense of
openness and a relaxed ambiance to all who visit. The
mall has 94 lifts and an underground parking garage
with almost 1400 parking spaces. Grand Gateway Plaza's
dramatic setting and accessibility have made it the
location of choice for some of the world's best known
retail names and most reputable companies.
Grand Gateway Office Towers are
two modern, 51 - storey towers rising 225 m. over the
hustle and bustle of Xujiahui, with a total construction
area of 134,000 sq. m. Silver - grey glass walls rise
out of the marble exterior base of the towers, stylishly
emphasizing the height of these elegant, modern office.
All fixtures are in accordance with grade A office standards.
Each tower is equipped with 16 efficient, high-speed
