Ingka Centres, part of the Ingka Group, continues to accelerate its expansion in China after revealing plans for Livat Kunming, a new meeting place in Kunming, capital of Yunnan Province.
The new meeting place, which is the company’s seventh in China, has been created seamlessly within the existing IKEA store, providing 46,500sq m GLA space. Livat Kunming adapts traditional Scandinavian design values to create a light, modern, simple and functional space with elements from local heritage and culture seamlessly weaved in.
The new destination will create an exciting blend of cuisine, digital services, and family-friendly experiences, providing not only a place for people to shop, but one which will also have a positive impact on the area’s nearby workers, residents and visitors.
Surrounded by a number of developed residential communities and several office buildings, Livat Kunming houses a range of local and global brands including Tesla, MLB and Huawei. Responding to consumers’ needs for a more diversified dining experience, more than 40 per cent of the tenant mix in the new meeting place is cafes and restaurants catering local consumers’ pursuit of a diversified dining experience.
Cindy Andersen, Ingka Centres’ Managing Director commented: “We’re delighted to begin the year with the launch of our seventh meeting place in China and I’d like to congratulate the team for the dedication and passion that they have put into their work on this project.”
