Blueprint for a Quality Life in the Heart of Jing’an

Pioneers at reshaping residential spaces, the new generation is particular about their living spaces, which often transcend the constraints of traditional homes with multifunctional environments that embody both aesthetics and aligned values.

Standing proudly in the heart of Jing’an, LIV’N The Spark by Greystar aligns with the dreams of new urban dwellers. It shapes the blueprint for a high quality life in downtown Shanghai.

This is the latest China flagship project by Greystar, a global leader in the long-term rental apartment sector.

As Greystar’s first self-developed, high-end, community-style apartment, LIV’N The Spark by Greystar transcends the traditional residential concept, and places a strong emphasis on creating a richer community lifestyle.

It has captured the attention of Gen Z-ers, young members of the new middle class, and expatriates in Shanghai.

The overall design of LIV’N The Spark by Greystar seamlessly blends modern elegance with urban cultural influences.

Inspired by the historic six-story walk-up buildings in Jing’an, the development features a thoughtfully-integrated six-story podium nestled between its two high-rise residential towers.

The stone-clad façade pays homage to the area’s industrial heritage, merging Shanghai’s architectural history with contemporary aesthetics.

Stepping into the ground-floor lobby, the thoughtfully designed lounge and meeting spaces immediately convey LIV’N The Spark by Greystar’s warm yet free-spirited community atmosphere — the perfect balance of vibrancy and tranquility.

As you move further inside, you’ll get a better idea of the quality of life that LIV’N The Spark by Greystar has meticulously crafted.

A Home for Every Lifestyle

Personalised experiences for residents

Nowadays, Gen Z regards living areas as carriers of self-expression. The modern and minimalistic room types gives the youth ample room to imprint their own creativity. You can adhere to the life philosophy of "less is more" or fill your home with a wide range of furnishings, from floral arrangements to aromatherapy accessories and artworks.

Of course, in order to meet the living needs of different residents, LIV’N The Spark provides a variety of apartment types, such as studios, one-bedroom apartments, and two-bedroom apartments. Each room is carefully designed to maximise functionality while maintaining the adaptability of each tenant’s ideal home.

Those who prefer to reside alone are particularly fond of studio apartments. The high-rise buildings have wide-angle views and the transparent floor-to-ceiling glass windows mean there is always natural light flooding into the rooms. Furthermore, the furniture, layouts and colour combinations are tasteful and relaxing. Current residents like nothing better than making themselves coffee and catching up on some reading by the windows.

It is worth mentioning that the deluxe studio apartments each have a specially designed Murphy Bed, which can be stored upright in a wall to free up space for actvities like yoga.

The walk-in closet of the luxury one-bedroom apartment is roomy emough for storing your clothing for all seasons, skis, and yoga mats, and the open-plan living room and dining room is cleverly separated. At night, couples might choose to spend quality time together on the balcony looking out over the city.

Meanwhile, families with children are better suited to the 108m² deluxe two-bedroom apartment, which also has a simple and warm tone. The master bedroom has a separate bathroom, and the second bedroom is spacious and well-lit.

Regardless of room type, smart door locks, fog-free bathroom mirrors, and a wide range of home appliances including microwaves, induction cookers, range hoods, refrigerators and more in the open kitchen make life all the more convenient. Some room types are even outfitted with XGIMI HD projectors and artworks, so guests are immersed in an enriched life.

A Community Designed for Connection

Fostering belonging & breaking down barriers

Evening parties in the open-air swimming pool, late-night board games in the shared kitchen, getting to know fellow dog-owners in the first-floor garden... These neighbourly interactions that have almost disappeared in big cities are being revived in LIV’N The Spark.

"Creating a richer community" has been the focus of the condominium since the start, and the 2,800m² wide public space perfectly embodies this. There are both peaceful and elegant private areas, as well as lively spaces for entertainment and socialing. The vibe dynamically switches from movement to stillness and back based off your needs.

Spacious and bright, the yoga room is outfitted with floor-to-ceiling mirrors and windows for tenants to stretch their bodies and settle their minds with yoga or Pilates. Equipped with complete facilities, the gym is where you can enjoy aerobic exercises or strength training, all while "staying at home."

The building's best features include an outdoor swimming pool and a temperature-controlled jacuzzi, which boast scenic views of the city. Catch some rays on the deck when the sun is out and nourish both your body and your mind.

An alternate form of relaxation, the library at LIV’N The Spark is full of books and reading material. Meanwhile, gourmets might want to show off their cooking skills in the shared kitchen, while creatives trade ideas and inspiration in the common living room.

After getting off work, play billiards in the game room or relive your childhood with retro arcade games. Otherwise, practice playing the guitar in the music room or watch a movie in the mini private cinema. LIV’N The Spark’s public spaces have certainly become an extension of its residents’ vitality.

Full of greenery to encourage a healthy dialogue with nature, the shared office is divided into multiple spaces of different sizes, each in highly saturated colours such as yellow, orange and blue. There are multi-functional halls and conference rooms that can accommodate large groups as well as single-person cubicles, thereby meeting multi-dimensional needs, from solitary contemplation to meetings.

Here, the concept of traditional residential communities is deconstructed. LIV’N The Spark fosters healthy connections between neighbours while also ensuring that there is a healthy balance between private and social spaces.
