On September 16, 2026 Hang Lung opened Xi Zhe Wuxi, Curio Collection by Hilton, at Center 66: 105 rooms and suites split between a contemporary wing and a restored 1933 residence built by Zhang Xiaocheng and his sister, and the first Curio Collection property in Jiangsu. The hotel completes the hospitality component of Phase Two and adds a fourth major use to the complex alongside retail, offices and residences. The offices bring weekday professionals, the residences a resident base, and the hotel guests across the week.
The mall carries more than 250 international brands, over 30 of them ultra-luxury and more than 100 trading in the market for the first time. Hang Lung’s register for the property names BVLGARI, CELINE, Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton, Piaget, Cartier and Gucci, and Apple has traded at Center 66 since 2014. Hang Lung reports that nearly 30 percent of visitors come from outside Wuxi, giving the luxury roster a regional rather than a purely citywide catchment.
Hang Lung’s current project table assigns 549,321 square meters of gross floor area to Center 66 including Phase Two. Retail accounts for 122,227 square meters of that, office for 137,543 across towers of 52 and 33 storeys, the 573-unit Center Residences for 101,153 and the hotel for 7,165. The office, residential and hotel components broaden the property’s demand base beyond discretionary mall visits alone.
A 20-year operating lease with Wuxi Liangxi City Development Group takes in the former Wuxi New World Department Store beside the existing mall, adding roughly 47,000 square meters of commercial space and about 55,000 square meters of gross floor area in total. On completion the retail footprint is planned to rise by 38 percent to around 169,227 square meters, and the complex as a whole to some 604,321. Hang Lung has said the added space will carry over 80 brands across food and beverage, fashion and lifestyle.
The site sits at 139 Renmin Middle Road in Liangxi District, the downtown commercial core, and holds the Chenghuang Temple complex, whose opera house dates to roughly 1369. The historic structures were dismantled, labelled, repaired and reassembled at the original site. The preserved temple complex remains embedded within the retail development, leaving historic buildings and courtyard space inside the modern commercial plan. Parking runs to 1,292 spaces.
