Exclusive | Lululemon moves to Hongkong Land’s project in Shanghai, giving emerging CBD a boost


The company would officially open its China store support centre on October 27, a move to show Lululemon’s vibrancy in line with the development of the West Bund, an emerging central business district (CBD) built on the 11km-long zone, according to Ng San Yan, managing director of Lululemon China.

“Our employees and partners will get a sense of dynamism at the West Bund,” she said at an event to kick off Lululemon’s “Feel Good Together” campaign in Shanghai last week. “We will also be able to enjoy a healthy and quality life as we embrace the culture of West Bund.”

Lululemon followed in the footsteps of German sportswear giant Adidas to announce the relocation of some of its Chinese operations to Westbund Central, which encompasses office, retail, hotel and rental homes.
