The Yongye Apartments are developed by Shanghai Yongye Group. The group is a state-owned enterprise founded in 1994.

Since its establishment, Shanghai Yongye Group has accomplished dozens of projects, including office, serviced apartments, residential apartments and shopping malls.

The project is in Huangpu District, adjacent to Madang Road Metro Station. It enjoys proximal access to the widely acclaimed finance and entertainment hubs, Xujiahui and Xintiandi.

As a tranquil home strategically tucked amidst the vivacious community, the project will be an exceptional haven where vibrancy and privacy coexist for a cozy stay. Lanson Place and Shanghai Yongye Group endeavour to compose a charming living experience for discerning guests who crave a full package of convenience, comfort, freedom and a vibrant life.
This project offers 186 units of one- to two-bedroom suites. It is targeted to open in the 4th quarter of 2015.

Shanghai Yongye Group has been well recognised by the industry as a steadily thriving company. Our pragmatic approach, integrated with Lanson Place's expertise, would bring to life an outstanding Serviced Suites."
