U Community, a large-scale, mixed-use residential development for young professionals located in the western district of Shanghai, consists of six high-rise residential towers with more than 2,500 units and three multi-story amenity buildings with retail, restaurants, fitness, cultural and public art facilities. Pet friendly, sports, public art engagement and social interactions are new lifestyle elements that attract young people to the project.
Semi outdoor spaces and open terraces running through all floors allow greenery, sunlight, and air to permeate every corner of the community. These public spaces, which have not yet been defined into specific functions, provide flexibility for the functional needs of the occupants so that the community will always be adaptable to future generations. U Community has not only provided the young residents with a comfortable and affordable living environment, but has also brought the new culture to the neighborhood that belongs to the future.
