CapitaLand’s Raffles City mixed developments in China come of age

HANGZHOU (July 1): The recently opened Raffles City Hangzhou rises dramatically across the scenic Qiantang River at Hangzhou’s CBD. It is in good company, located near the Hangzhou Grand Theatre, the international conference centre and soon-to-be-built government municipal centres.

Designed by renowned Dutch architect Ben van Berkel, RCHZ features two 60-storey towers for Grade A office buildings, a shopping mall, a five-star hotel and serviced residences.

It was this organic, twisty and futuristic-looking design that led RCHZ to open only in April instead of 2015 as scheduled.
