K11 Shanghai (formerly Hong Kong New World Tower)

61-storey skyscraper in Shanghai's Xintiandi district – now K11, a luxury mall with embedded contemporary art.

K11 in Shanghai is a 61-storey, 278-metre skyscraper in the Xintiandi district. Originally constructed as the Hong Kong New World Tower, the building was relaunched in 2013 as K11, a high-end shopping destination with a distinctive art-retail concept. Sculptures and contemporary art installations are integrated throughout the shopping floors, making it feel more gallery than typical mall. The building stands above the Yan'an Elevated Road and overlooks People's Square, and is regarded as one of China's pioneers of concept-driven retail.
