Luxury Urban Oasis: How Mingzhu Nerval Transformed One East Plaza
2022-08-04
Bringing Nature to the Heart of Shanghai
At Mingzhu Nerval, we are passionate about bringing nature into urban environments—and our recent collaboration with Canadian asset management firm Brookfield allowed us to realize this vision at a landmark scale.
In collaboration with Brookfield, Mingzhu Nerval transformed One East Plaza into a luxury urban oasis, seamlessly blending nature with contemporary architecture. Set at the core of this vibrant retail and F&B destination, our lush green space is not merely a visual centerpiece but a living sanctuary that evolves throughout the day—calm and tranquil by daylight, magical and vibrant at night.
By incorporating biophilic design principles, Mingzhu Nerval has elevated One East Plaza into a prime example of luxury urban landscaping, where green infrastructure enhances both aesthetics and functionality.
Our work at One East Plaza is a testament to the power of thoughtful nature integration in real estate—where sustainable design, botanical artistry, and urban innovation come together to create spaces that inspire, welcome, and endure.
