Discover KIC Plaza: A Hub of Innovation in Shanghai

Situated in Yangpu District’s Wujiaochang sub-center, KIC Plaza is part of the visionary Knowledge and Innovation Community (KIC), developed by Shui On Land with the Shanghai government. This award-winning, mixed-use development seamlessly integrates office spaces, retail, education, and residential areas, fostering a vibrant urban environment aimed at the next generation of innovators. P&T Group played a vital role in the urban planning and design of this community, including the construction of KIC Plaza’s nine low-rise office blocks, which are unified by a modern architectural language featuring limestone facades and glass curtain walls. These buildings are connected by a sunken landscaped courtyard, serving as a vibrant pedestrian spine filled with retail and communal spaces.

The master plan of KIC focuses on creating a sustainable, connected, and interactive community. Its low-density design blends historic structures with modern elements, promoting pedestrian-friendly infrastructure and environmentally conscious practices. Highlights include the integration of Jiangwan Stadium with Fudan University via underground passages, creating lively public spaces, and fostering collaboration across diverse groups. With LEED Platinum and China Green Star certifications, KIC stands as a benchmark for eco-friendly, urban innovation in one of Shanghai’s most dynamic districts.
