Location
The building's central location makes it an instant energy-saver. The location allowed builders convenient access to infrastructure such as electric and gas lines. For the building occupants, amenities such as shopping, restaurants and Yuyuantan Park are within walking distance, as is the subway and several bus lines. And precious open space was preserved by building on a previously developed site.
