The Livat Shanghai commercial complex is near completion and will be open to the public in the second half of the year.

The fifth Livat mall and the 10th “gathering experience center” under the brand in China, the Livat Shanghai is with its total space exceeding 430,000 square meters. 

Bounded by Fuquan Road, Jinzhong Road, Xiehe Road and Beidi Road, the future megamall at 788 Jinzhong Road will set up around 300 fashion, catering and entertainment shops from around the world and home the fourth IKEA outlet in the city. It will have more than 2,700 parking spaces.

Functioning as a commercial hub, the complex will connect the south and north parts of the Linkong Industrial Zone as well as the Lingkong SOHO to the west. 

Apart from being a shopping mall, it will also house a service apartment, a hotel and office space. At present, business promotion is underway.

As the largest single investment project for Ingka Centers throughout the world, Livat Shanghai is in the Hongqiao Linkong Economic Demonstration Zone and the core area of the Hongqiao International Open Hub. 

Relying on the strong and dynamic development opportunities and strategic location of Changning, the project has access to multiple trunk roads such as the Outer Ring Road, Beidi Elevated Road, and Beiheng Passage. 

With a total investment of 8 billion yuan (US$1.1 billion), it will connect with the Hongqiao International Central Business District, radiating over 3 million residents and high-density education and office clusters in the surrounding area. 

Outdoor activities, leisure lifestyles and many more functions for both dynamic and static scenarios would be included, and it would host the trendiest retailers to stay ahead of the market, according to Ingka Centers.

Underground corridors will link the Livat center with major buildings of Linkong and the Metro Songhong Road Station.
