HKRI Taikoo Hui (Chinese: 興業太古滙; pinyin: Xīngyè Tàigǔ Huì) is a mixed use development on West Nanjing Road in Shanghai, China. It comprises two office towers, a large retail mall, 102 serviced apartments and a 111-room hotel called The Middle House.^[2][3] In late 2017, Starbucks opened a 30,000 square feet (2,800 m²) Reserve Roastery at the project, the largest Starbucks branch in the world at the time.^[4][5][6]

HKRI Taikoo Hui is located in central Jing'an District on the busy shopping street of Nanjing Road. It is accessible by foot from West Nanjing Road station on the Shanghai metro, where lines 2, 12 and 13 converge.^[7] The shopping centre is also located close to Yan'an Elevated Road and the North-South Elevated Road, two of Shanghai's major highways.^[8]

The Dazhongli site upon which HKRI Taikoo Hui was built was first acquired in 2002.
