Estrella Apartments



Now known as Ruijin Apartments, it is designed by Hudec in 1926. The ground floor is now a retail store selling Adidas. It was something else when I first saw this building back in 2002, and later Metersbowne until Adidas moved in earlier this year.

This is perhaps my favourite building on Huai Hai Road. Looks a bit like those houses in Paris, isn’t it? Yeah, it’s French Renaissance style……

The metal gate has a passcode, thus I was not able to enter it. It’s quite beautiful in the evening when lights are on. I’ll take another picture soon and wait at the gate next time to see if I can enter the building :)
