At the main tower’s base is the MixC RDE Center, Lead8’s concept for China’s popular MixC brand. The retail and entertainment complex features an integrated retail street with luxury brand stores, pop-up exhibitions, and fine-dining functions year-round. A glass façade establishes a visual connection with the street to enhance the MixC RDE Center’s impact on Changchun’s surrounding urban life.
The Changchun CR Center is slated to open in 2021. It is the third major collaboration for Goettsch Partners, Lead8, and developer China Resources Land.
