RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The Huayuan Phase II Project contains office and retail. The market research from retail consultant revealed that abundant traditional offices around the site causes downward trend in rent. Based on similar project experiences, shared office and small boutique offices was proposed instead of traditional office in the context of convenient network and globalization. Flexible, open, mobile, and controllable shared office is more popular in the market.
CHALLENGE: Since the site has been surrounded by Grand Hyatt hotels, Super Class 5A office buildings, Hisense international famous boutiques, restaurants, high-end residential and small apartment apartments, we then supplement the greater region with small office, shared office, and art-themed commercial retail, expanding the user range from the riches to the middle class and young people, thus improving the inclusiveness of the whole community.
