Enchanted living experience not just luxury home

STANFORD Residences, the high-end serviced apartment brand launched by K. Wah International Holdings Ltd (KWIH) under a corporate diversification strategy, got off to a promising start with steadily growing occupancy rate and satisfactory client feedback at its first property which opened in March last year in downtown Jing’an District.

Almost 80 percent of the units at the 113-key Stanford Residences Jing An have been leased out so far, a good result for KWIH given the fact that the brand is still in its infant stage and one of the two buildings was not released to the market until several months ago.

“We expect the occupancy rate at our Stanford Residences properties to be maintained at 90 percent within the next two to three year,” Leo Lee, associate director of K. Wah (China) Investment Co Ltd, told Shanghai Daily in a recent interview.

“Under the company’s plan, our second project under the brand, the 119-key Stanford Residences Xu Hui which encompasses four buildings, is set to open around April 2017.”

Designed with the philosophy of “Where Enchanted Living Comes Together,” Stanford Residences seeks to bring its residents a true living experience rather than just luxury accommodation.

Conveniently located in the central business district of Jing’an with the city’s bustling Huaihai Road and Xintiandi areas in close proximity, Stanford Residences Jing An boasts easy access to Shanghai’s main financial districts, high speed railway stations as well as the Hongqiao and Pudong international airports.

Offering a wide variety of spacious apartment layouts starting from 227-square-meter three bedrooms to duplex and penthouse units of as large as 527 square meters, it ideally caters to the needs of families with one or two children.

With some of the units on higher levels of the two buildings overlooking the whole Jing’an Temple and Nanjing Road W., a premium shopping street in the city, Stanford Residences Jing An impresses guests most through its soothing in-room decor, superb facilities and most importantly of all, attentive services and home-like feelings.

Designed by world renowned architect Philip Liao and a team with rich experience in hotel interior design, all rooms at Stanford Residences Jing An embody the art of structure and space. From decoration to furniture, a perfect combination of style and functionality can be felt by the residents once they step into the modern and comfortable rooms. Neutral colors have been deployed to provide a multitude of ways for the residents to add personality to their rooms while soft hues help arouse a calming and relaxing atmosphere.

All rooms are equipped with IDD phones, free Wi-Fi, individually controlled central air-conditioning and floor heating. Renowned German appliance brands are adopted in the kitchens while the bathrooms come complete with top-quality fittings.

A great home is never just about a prestigious location and fine furnishings. It connects more, as always, with warmth and love and the embrace of friends and loved ones.

One of the highlights at Stanford Residences Jing An is its landscape, which is a work by well-known landscaping specialist Aoya Design. Featuring 60 different varieties of plants meticulously arranged to reflect each season, it provides an ideal place to relax where vitality is showcased vividly.

Soothing views of the serene greenery create the perfect ambiance to share a glass of wine or some refreshing drinks with one’s loved ones and bosom friends in the exquisitely crafted clubhouse lounge. A work by celebrated interior designer Steve Leung, the clubhouse at Stanford Residences Jing An is fully equipped with a state-of-the-art gym, heated indoor and outdoor swimming pools, saunas, a private dining room as well as a wine and cigar bar. A kids’ zone keeps youngsters at bay while the adults can spend some time of their own to either unwind or rejuvenate.

Stanford Residences Jing An, with the support of KWIH and its parent company K. Wah Group with their rich experience in hotel management and operation of premium residences, offers clients professional services that make people feel at home. The concierge at the 24/7 front desk helps make sure residents’ every single request are taken care of properly and quickly at any time while warm greetings from the staff at the lobby during morning and evening hours surely offer residents a home-like atmosphere.

For expatriates, who account for about 60 percent of residents at Stanford Residences Jing An, their local life won’t likely start with much difficulty when it comes to medical care and children’s education, two major concerns for new dwellers from overseas. United Asia Huashan Medical Service and the Health Medical Shanghai Center are just moments away and many excellent schools including Yew Chung International School in Hongqiao, Concordia International School Shanghai, Pudong Dulwich College and the French, British and American schools in Shanghai are also not far away from the property.

“One of the key strengths about Stanford Residences is that we are both the property owner and operator, which means we usually get ourselves involved in the project from early stages of development including design and construction,” Lee said.

“Besides, every Stanford Residences property is located within KWIH’s own residential development, allowing residents convenient access to both facilities and resources within a larger community with improved security and privacy at the same time.”
