Chapman Taylor appointed to design Vanke Qibao Square sport zone

Vanke Mall Sport Zone is an entertainment-led project located at the top of Vanke Mall shopping Centre in the Qibao district of Shanghai, China.

This 5,000 m² Sport Zone includes a NBA basketball half court, a suspended roller skating track, and a ‘9A’ Climbing Wall. The facilities are surrounded by major sports brand tenants such as Nike, Adidas, as well as healthy F&B offers. Other tenants include a gym, a bowling alley, and many more sports equipment retailers.

Vanke, our client, is particularly keen to promote an active, fun, and healthy lifestyle to its customers. As a result, we were asked to design this innovative entertainment and sports themed experience in the new Vanke Mall.

The sports retail and experience tenants that operate in this space make this sports zone a truly one-off and comprehensive sports and entertainment destination in Shanghai.

Our involvement with Vanke Mall follows the successful work we carried out for them on their 2049 community mall in Pudong. This work involved remodelling the centre’s main entrance to enable a better commercial experience as well as accommodate a new 2,000 m² Apple Store.
