If Mall

Benoy has announced its second project with Hong Kong China Travel Service (HKCTS) – the Ningbo ?If mall?, a future community-focused retail and commercial destination whose design has been recently unveiled to the public.

The development is situated in the Jiangbei district of Ningbo on a plot bordered by the well-known Changxing Road, Hongtu Road and West North Ring Road. Positioned as a premium community retail and business centre, Ningbo If mall will be a showcase space for international and local brands as well as offer commercial and leisure environments.
Benoy?s design is comprised of three major blocks covering an approximate GFA of 46,000sqm. The planning regulations required strong interfacing with the surrounding urban areas. Benoy?s approach therefore resulted in an L-shaped layout with a continuous green, urban space woven throughout.

?We were excited by the landscaping opportunities offered by the client and this site. Our design introduces an urban public park between the west side of the development and the major municipal road, as well as smaller landscaped pockets throughout the scheme to create a greener environment for the people visiting as well as working and living within the wider development,? said...
