Ingka Centres, part of the Ingka Group (which also includes IKEA Retail and Ingka Investments), announces the launch of Livat Nanning, a new meeting place in China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
The new meeting place has been created within the existing IKEA store following a €130M redevelopment to create almost 18,500sq m GLA of sustainable mixed-use space across five levels. It houses over 80 domestic and foreign brands, including Uniqlo, Decathlon, Starbucks Reserve and popular restaurant chain, Guixiaochu. The opening of Nanning will create over 650 workplaces in the area.
Livat Nanning is an exciting new retail-led destination for brands, customers and local residents. The IKEA store is seamlessly integrated within the meeting place, creating a unique experience that includes a significant emphasis on food and beverage, leisure and entertainment experiences, catering for the needs of nearby workers, residents and visitors.
Livat Nanning also provides a range of community and family friendly spaces, fashion, retail, online services, entertainment and home furnishing inspiration, offering a new place for Wuxiang’s community to shop, eat, relax, learn and spend time with family and friends.
Cindy Andersen, Ingka Centres Managing Director commented: “The launch of Livat Nanning is another exciting step in our journey of changing the ways people shop, meet, and spend their time. Together with IKEA and our partners, Livat Nanning brings an inspiring blend of local and global brands and cuisine, digital services, and family-friendly experiences, tailored towards the needs and aspirations of our local communities and visitors.”
