Sweett Group project manages fit-out of Shanghai Tang global flagship store

Sweett Group, the international property and infrastructure consultancy, is pleased to have been involved in the successful delivery of Shanghai Tang Mansion, the Hong Kong luxury brand's global flagship store. Providing a full scope of project management services, Sweett Group has been involved in the exclusive 15,000 ft2 development located on Hong Kong's historic Duddell Street since May 2011. 

Spread over four floors, the Shanghai Tang Mansion is the largest of the Group's retail outlets and is a modern interpretation of an opulent Chinese art deco mansion, embodying the brand's next evolution in yet another unique collaboration with the best of China's creative talents. The store's launch event was attended by a number of Shanghai Tang's brand ambassadors, including actor / model Hu Bing and actor Lin Chiling.

Steven Resco, Deputy Director of Project Management at Sweett Group, said:

"We were privileged to be Shanghai Tang's trusted partner in delivering its landmark Mansion store. Working together closely, we overcame the many unique challenges that the complex site and exciting new design presented in order to achieve a high quality store of which we are all proud. We are delighted to have realised Shanghai Tang's ambitious vision."

Raphael le Masne de Chermont, Executive Chairman of Shanghai Tang, said:

"We are excited to introduce our next milestone. The Shanghai Tang Mansion represents our commitment as the Global Ambassador of Contemporary Chinese Chic, and we feel honoured to play a part in revitalising a historic Hong Kong street with a modern retail and lifestyle destination."
