Mexarts Contract Project | Greystar’s First Self-Developed Apartment Project in China Officially Opens

On March 13, Greystar officially launched LIV’N The Spark, its first self-developed premium community-style apartment project in China. As a key strategic partner, Mexarts Contract was honored to join the housewarming celebration, marking the beginning of a new era in ideal living.

LIV’N The Spark, located in the heart of Jing’an District, Shanghai, is the first self-developed premium community-style apartment project in China of Greystar, which is one of the world’s largest rental housing platforms. The construction started from its successful ground breaking in September 2021 to the completion of the main structure in August 2023. In November 2024, the trial operation began and it officially opened its doors in March 2025.

As a close project partner, Mexarts Contract leveraged its deep understanding of both high-end brands and premium lifestyles to provide a seamless, all-in-one solution integrating interior styling and furnishing products. The result is a perfectly curated space that balances aesthetics, functionality, and quality while optimizing operations, cost, and efficiency. This collaboration has played a vital role in enhancing the project’s market appeal and delivering Greystar’s milestone development in China.

LIV’N The Spark offers an expansive 2,800㎡ of communal spaces, thoughtfully designed to enrich residents’ living experience. The development features a diverse range of amenities, including an outdoor swimming pool, gym, yoga studio, and game room for leisure and wellness, alongside co-working spaces, meeting rooms, a live-streaming studio, and a multi-functional hall to foster social engagement. The community events calendar further enhances the dynamic and fulfilling lifestyle within.

Mexarts Contract curated bespoke interior styling solutions for each functional space, carefully symphonizing form, materials, and colors to create immersive atmospheres while maintaining a cohesive design identity across the project. Through this thoughtful visual and spatial experience, Greystar’s vision of an ideal living environment comes to life—one that residents not only appreciate but seamlessly integrate into their daily routines.

LIV’N The Spark features over 500 suites, offering a variety of layouts—including studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments—catering to urban elites, corporate executives, and business professionals seeking a refined living experience.

Approaching the project from a deep understanding of high-end residents’ lifestyles, home environments, and daily routines, Mexarts Contract identified user needs and preferences to craft tailored interior styling and product design solutions. Starting with meticulous designs for 13 primary layouts, the process extended to a comprehensive data-driven analysis of 50+ room variations, product planning, and ultimately the customized production and delivery of nearly 10,000 pieces of products across 100+ product categories. Leveraging 30 years of expertise in flexible manufacturing and quality management across Japan and the Nordics, Mexarts Contract ensured a seamless balance of efficiency, aesthetics, and cost-effectiveness throughout the project.

Throughout the planning and execution of LIV’N The Spark, Mexarts Contract not only ensured a 100% realization of interior styling and product design but also leveraged its decade-long expertise in commercial residential projects, self-owned high-end brand resources, and in-house international design studio to support the project’s long-term operations and marketing strategy:
Optimized for Longevity: Product design and development incorporated considerations for long-term operational and maintenance costs from the outset.

Tailored Design Highlights: Signature pieces from the Mexarts Design Institute were customized in form and material to align with the project’s needs, serving as standout elements in marketing to high-end residents.

Marketing Support: Developed design narratives, project product manuals, and curated lifestyle gifting solutions to enhance direct consumer engagement.

Operational Efficiency: Provided maintenance guides and spare parts pricing lists, streamlining day-to-day property management and ensuring long-term serviceability.

By integrating marketing foresight with operational strategy, Mexarts Contract delivered a holistic and future-proof solution, reinforcing LIV’N The Spark as a benchmark in premium community living.
