The Largest Building in the World, Located in Hanghou, China - Ayesha Shoukat - 08-24-2023
The Regent International apartment building, situated in Hangzhou, China, has garnered attention for accommodating a population comparable to that of a small town, with more than 20,000 residents living within its 36-storey structure initially designed as a hotel. Nestled in Hangzhou's central business district, Qianjiang Century City, this distinctive S-shaped building underwent a transformation from a hotel to an apartment complex, housing thousands of high-end residential units.
Standing at a towering height of 206 meters with 36 storeys, the building offers a self-contained community experience, equipped with various amenities and businesses. Among its offerings are a sprawling food court catering to the diverse population, swimming pools, barber shops, nail salons, medium-sized supermarkets, and internet cafes. Residents enjoy the convenience of finding everything they need within the building's walls, eliminating the need to venture outside.
Designed by Alicia Loo, the chief designer of Singapore's renowned Sands Hotel, the Regent International apartment building was inaugurated in 2013 and swiftly became a prominent landmark in Hangzhou.
A majority of its residents consist of young professionals who have recently graduated from or are nearing completion of higher education, while the building also hosts young influencers and small businesses. Covering over 260,000 square meters, this impressive structure is one of China's largest apartment buildings, drawing comparisons to the population of an entire town in some parts of the country
