1933

1933 is an adaptive reuse project in Shanghai. It was at one time the largest abattoir (aka slaughterhouse) in East Asia and has been reconstructed into a new recreational destination for locals and expats.

Paul Liu, a Chinese American friend in Shanghai and developer for this project, has agreed to meet us and give us a tour. I'll coordinate with Randy on date/time.

Paul was previously CFO and then General Manager of the high-end Three on the Bund building (http://www.threeonthebund.com/#), another adaptive reuse project backed by the Singaporean/Malaysian family who owns the Shangri-la empire.
