Ascott Grand Opens Somerset Riverview Chengdu

Ascott has grand opened its first serviced residence property in Chengdu – the 200-unit Somerset Riverview Chengdu.

 Overlooking the Jinjiang River, Somerset Riverview Chengdu is located within the downtown central business district along South Renmin Road. Unionsun Yangkuo Plaza, a premier grade A office building, is next to the serviced residence property, while prominent office buildings including Lippo Tower, Times Plaza and Plaza Central are within a five-minute drive.

The Somerset Riverview Chengdu is also a 15-minute walk to the landmark Tianfu Square which is home to major shopping malls and a transportation hub that provides convenient access to various destinations in the city.

The new serviced residence property offers apartments ranging from studios to duplexes, catering to the different lifestyle needs of both short and long-stay customers. All apartments provide a fully-equipped kitchen, ensuite bathroom, and separate living and work areas with WiFi internet service and home entertainment system.

Somerset Riverview Chengdu’s comprehensive facilities include a children’s indoor playroom, yoga / dance studio, fully-equipped gymnasium, sauna, rooftop garden with a barbecue area, snooker tables and even a boxing ring.

Mr Lim Ming Yan, Chief Executive Officer of The Ascott Limited, said, “China continues to be one of our fastest growing markets. Besides the grand opening of our first property in Chengdu, as well as the Ascott Huai Hai Road Shanghai last month, we will open another four new properties in China later this year. With China’s strong economic growth, we will continue to expand our presence in the key growth cities to double our network in China to 12,000 apartment units by 2015. Western China has immense potential for Ascott to grow its presence. We expect strong demand for serviced residences as the government has been attracting foreign investments and travellers to the region through its Western Development programme. The opening of Somerset Riverview Chengdu, our third property in western China, demonstrates our confidence in the region.”
