Located to the west of the city centre, next to the city express road, a light rail station and the metro in Putuo District, the Global Harbor is a 480,000m² building.
It includes a 270,000m² six-level shopping centre; and two 245m-high towers spread over 160,000m2, which house offices, hotel and apartments.
The scheme offers restaurants, a boutique supermarket, ice rink, gym and spa clubs, D-max theatre, foreign bookstore and children’s playground, 2,200 parking spots as well as Shanghai’s largest rooftop garden.
Global Harbor also houses a museum on its fourth floor, which is jointly run by Shanghai History Museum, Shanghai Telecom Museum and other industry museums.
The museum will exhibit the history of Shanghai, featuring old maps of foreign concessions published in 1880; wooden bricks used to pave the Nanjing Road in the late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911); and the city’s oldest electric lights.
The mall will also host a forum on discovering talented young Chinese film makers and hold an exhibition of 200 paintings by Chinese artists.
