Stand at the junction of Wukang Road and Huaihai Middle Road on any weekend and you'll see them: hundreds of people, phones raised, photographing the same building. The Wukang Building (武康大楼) — that magnificent flatiron-shaped prow of brick and concrete — has become Shanghai's most photographed address, the face of the entire Former French Concession. Our office sits a few minutes up Wukang...

Compound Guide
Some Shanghai compounds chase fashion. Ambassy Court (鸿艺豪苑) never needed to. Sitting on Huaihai Middle Road near Wulumuqi Road — consulate country, library country, the dead centre of the Former French Concession's most established stretch — it has quietly housed diplomats, executives and long-haul expat families since 2001, and remains the definition of a certain kind of Shanghai address: not...
Ask ten long-term expat families in west-central Shanghai to name the compound they'd move to tomorrow, and Central Residences (嘉里华庭) will come up more often than any other. It's the compound with the waiting-list reputation — the one where "a three-bed just came up" travels through school WeChat groups like breaking news. Here's why, and what the reputation gets right and wrong. Where and...
We've now written full guides to three of Jing'an's most-asked-about compounds — Top of City, Ladoll International City, and City Castle — and ever since, the same message keeps arriving: "OK, but which one?" Fair. All three sit in the Jing'an sweet spot, all three court the same professional-and-couple demographic, and on a listing site their photos blur together. In person, they're three distinct...
We're a Puxi agency — Old Xuhui, Jing'an, Changning, that's home. But one Pudong name keeps coming up in client conversations year after year: Shimao Riviera Garden (世茂滨江花园). Relocating families hear about it from colleagues; finance arrivals want river views near Lujiazui; and renters comparing both sides of the river ask us, honestly, how it stacks up. So here's the honest, Puxi-eyed...
Ladoll International City sits on Beijing West Road, just steps from Jing'an Sculpture Park and one block from Nanjing West Road and HKRI Taikoo Hui . The location is about as central as it gets. You are a five-minute walk from the metro and five to ten minutes from the heart of the Nanjing West Road commercial area . What sets Ladoll apart from other Jing'an compounds is the greenery. There...
Top of City sits on Weihai Road in the heart of Jing'an, between People's Square and Nanjing West Road. It is one of the few compounds in central Shanghai built around a large man-made lake. The 8,000 sqm ecological lake and 26,000 sqm lakefront gardens give it a park-like feel that most downtown developments cannot match . The compound was completed in 2005 by Shanghai Zhongkai Real Estate. It...
The Paragon sits at the intersection of South Maoming Road and Julu Road, where the Former French Concession meets the Huaihai Road commercial district. The location is among the most desirable in Shanghai. You are walking distance to Huaihai Road shopping, Jing'an Temple, and the cafes of Anfu Road and Changle Road. The area is tree-lined, quiet, and central. The building is often listed in "Top 10...
Eight Park Avenue is the newer, more polished sister compound to One Park Avenue. Both were developed by Singapore‘s Keppel Land, but Eight Park Avenue came later (phased completion from 2007 to 2015) and benefits from newer construction and a significantly better clubhouse . The compound sits on Xikang Road, just north of West Nanjing Road. You are close to Jing’an Temple, the shopping on...
Chevalier Place is not a large compound. It is a single 33-story tower with only 113 units . But what it lacks in size, it makes up for in exclusivity and service. The building sits on Anfu Road, one of the most desirable streets in the Former French Concession. You are steps from the cafes on Anfu, the boutiques on Wukang Road, and the consulates on Wulumuqi Road . Yet the building itself is...
