About CR Land Shijiazhuang MiXC Mixed Use
CR Land Shijiazhuang MiXC is a mixed-use development in Shijiazhuang, China. The complex combines a retail podium with office and apartment towers. A large setback at the northwest corner of the site creates an urban plaza at street level and a sunken plaza linked to the subway. The transfer hall of Metro Lines 1 and 3 connects to the two basement levels of the shopping mall through the sunken plaza and a pedestrian walkway. Mall entrances are placed at three street corners. The entrance facade uses double glazed curtain walls with a special lighting design.

- Unique Properties
- To create a more inviting gesture, a large setback was introduced at northwest corner of the site, accommodating a grand urban plaza on street level and a featured sunken plaza connected to the subway. The setback also gives the building podium an over 300 meters long continuous urban facade, projecting a powerful architectural image over the busy city intersection. The transfer hall of Metro Line 1 and 3 is seamlessly connected to B1 and B2 levels of the shopping mall via sunken plaza and pedestrian walkway. A blend of natural sunlight, interactive landscape and art installations greatly enhance the quality of space and passenger experiences. As a mixed-use development, the retail podium is the center piece and at the same time acting like a catalyst for office and apartment towers. The formal entrances to the office towers are located along the city’s financial street, while the apartments’ lobbies are facing a much quieter courtyard space with more privacy. We dedicated all three major street corners for shopping mall entrances to take advantage of the heavy foot traffic. The entrance facade of the mall features exquisite use of double glazed curtain walls with special lighting design to give it a very trendy and dynamic look. The interior of the mall is kept simple and elegant to bring together high end retail, anchor and specialty stores, F&B and additional social functions for a unique experience the city never had before.
