Benoy has revealed plans for the mall in the coastal Chines province of Ningbo

The architect behind London’s Westfield shopping centre has announced its second project with Hong Kong China Travel Service, a mall in the coastal province of Ningbo.

Benoy has unveiled plans for the community-focused retail and commercial centre, which will be known as the Ningbo If mall.

The design includes three major blocks covering 46,000mthat combine to give an L-shaped layout.

The masterplan has been designed to ensure the retail spaces face the well-developed Hongtu and Changxing Roads while the commercial business zone is adjacent to the parkland on the west side of the plot. 

The centre will include a sports club, retail spaces, supermarket, cinema, a children’s entertainment and education area as well as the commercial business centre.
