It has been for over five decades one of the primary symbols of Shanghai. It was once its most visible landmark; Completed in 1934; the same year as the Park Hotel; which is 19 feet taller; it was the tallest apartment building in Shanghai and remained so for several decades. Located near the confluence of Suzhou Creek and the Huangpu River; as well as the northern end of The Bund; it was built by the architectural and engineering firm of Palmer and Turner; and its completion in 1935 signalled the commencement of the high-rise building era in Asia.
It commands possibly the best view of the Bund and Huangpu. Originally named 'Broadway Mansions' in 1935; it was renamed 'Shanghai Mansions' by the Shanghai Municipal Council in 1951; but reverted to its original name after China opened up again to the West.
