HKRI Taikoo Hui ( Chinese : 興業太古滙 ; pinyin : Xīngyè Tàigǔ Huì ) is a mixed use development on West Nanjing Road in Shanghai , China. It comprises two office towers, a large retail mall, 102 serviced apartments and a 111-room hotel called The Middle House.

HKRI Taikoo Hui is located in central Jing'an District on the busy shopping street of Nanjing Road. It accessible by foot from a large transport interchange on the Shanghai metro , where lines 2, 12 and 13 converge. [7] The shopping centre is also located close to Yan'an Elevated Road and the North-South Elevated Road , two of Shanghai's major highways. [8]
