Cambridge Waters

Cambridge Waters introduces a new standard of living to Shanghai.

Newly designed residences Cambridge Waters is a residential development in China’s Baoshan, a rapidly evolving district in Shanghai’s north. Set amongst stunningly landscaped gardens and canals, the development comprises a mixture of low- and medium-rise apartments, offering young professionals a new standard of living in the heart of Baoshan. The development’s location makes the most of Baoshan’s convenient access to transport and central amenities.

A desirable address The first Cambridge Waters homes sold out within weeks of entering the market in 2004. An additional 3500 homes were completed in 2008, and a final stage of development continues to meet the demands of a discerning generation and offer an unprecedented urban lifestyle.

Developing the masterplan In creating Cambridge Waters, AJ+C collaborated with SPG’s Tim Schwager and Oculus, the Australian landscape architects.
