Longfor Central

Longfor Central has transformed and shaped inner-city Chengdu by delivering a vibrant development and platform for working, living and socialising. Located above a new metro interchange within the city’s 1st inner-ring district, Lead8 collaborated with the developer to revitalise this former industrial site into a new model for community-focused TOD design.

The 590,000sqm TOD destination comprises of a retail centre, office towers and four residential towers. The 198m tall Loft tower sits atop the six-storey mall, acting as a gateway tower welcoming visitors travelling from the train station to the city centre.

Direct connectivity to various transportation networks including the North Train station, Lines 1 and 6, and integration of new above and below ground pedestrian routes strengthens accessibility between spaces.

Longfor Central is a catalyst for urban renewal in Chengdu’s inner city area and the first such development to open in the ‘1st ring’ in the last five years.
