Across the road to the east of Yifang Tower is ‘The Lester School and Henry Lester Institute of Technical Education’, which was built in 1934 by Lester Foundation and was awarded the Heritage Building of Shanghai in 1994. Yifang Tower’s architectural style fully respects the Heritage Building across the street and uses the same beige grey stone facade material and highlights the same vertical decoration elements as the Heritage Building. The project is comprised of two 18-story office towers, a 2-story retail podium and 4 floors of underground spaces. The identical east and west tower has a total office area of 21,922 sq.m. each, 43,844 sq.m. combined. The top 18th floor is dedicated to the Executive Club Amenities. The 17th floor is for the Executive Office and the 14th to 16th floors are open office spaces. From 3rd to 13th floors are individual office suites for rental purpose. The first and second floor of the podium are commercial retail spaces with VIP commercial services on the 2nd floor. Below Grade B1 and B2 are dedicated to commercial retail spaces with an anchor store of a supermarket. B3 and B4 levels are primarily car park and mechanical spaces.
