Shanghai Disney Cast Member Housing
Shanghai Disney Resort today announced that a new multifunctional residential community, located in close proximity to the resort, is currently under construction and upon completion, will become the resort’s new cast housing community.
This is the latest example of the continuous development and expansion of Shanghai Disney Resort and supporting facilities, and is one of the many ways in which Shanghai Disney Resort continues to invest in its cast experiences. As part of the resort’s long-term commitment to providing quality care and benefits to cast members, the new community is expected to provide convenient, high-quality, and affordable accommodation options to support its frontline cast members and interns who create the memorable Disney magic experienced by guests at Shanghai Disney Resort.
The residential community is the first development project in the south parcel of Shanghai International Resort. Construction on the new housing community commenced last year and is currently progressing according to schedule. On completion, the neighborhood will feature eight high-rise residential buildings, providing distinctively designed, high quality living spaces crafted specifically to meet the needs of the expanding Disney employee community. The development will also include a host of supporting facilities and functions such as a sports center, food and beverage services, shared recreational spaces, as well as a beautiful outdoor landscaping and leisure areas, creating a vibrant neighborhood where residents can experience a sense of community.
The development is invested by Shendi Group, constructed by Shanghai Urban Construction Municipal Engineering (Group) Co., LTD, and developed and managed by Shanghai Shendi Diyu Development and Construction Co., LTD, a subsidiary of Shendi Group, and will encompass a total land area of approximately 50,000 square meters and a total construction area of approximately 164,000 square meters. Once completed, Shanghai Disney Resort will become the main tenant of the project, creating a vibrant community for the resort’s cast members.
