Meilong Creative Container House

Admin September 15, 2026

Currently, there is no publicly available project information directly named 'Meilong Creative Container House', but there are multiple creative spaces and renovation cases related to containers in the Meilong area. Here is a detailed analysis:

1. Container creative spaces in the Meilong area are mainly for office use, with few residential ones
As an industrial cluster area in Minhang District, Meilong Town has built several creative parks featuring containers. For example, Yichuangyuan Creative Park is located on Jindu Road, with a total construction area of about 9,800 square meters. It consists of a 4-story building equipped with freight elevators and fire sprinklers, mainly providing office space for technology research and development and e-commerce enterprises. Huifeng Creative Park adheres to the concept of 'ecological creativity', with a total construction area of about 42,000 square meters, covering 13 multi-story office buildings. The rental range is 1.0-2.0 yuan/㎡/day, also positioned for office scenarios. Although these parks use container elements, their functions are concentrated on industrial offices and do not involve residential uses.

2. Information on residential container houses is limited and requires careful verification
Among the reference information, only Meilong Sixth Village has residential housing, but it is an ordinary residential building rather than a container house. This property is a well-decorated unit with 1 bedroom, 1 living room, and 1 bathroom, covering an area of 42.77 square meters, with a monthly rent of 3,800 yuan. It is equipped with household appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines, but its architectural form is a traditional multi-story residential building, unrelated to containers. Other cases, such as Libo Central Apartments, are high-end large apartments, and Zhihuiwan Science and Innovation Park, although renovated from containers, is located in Baoshan District, neither of which meets the positioning of 'Meilong Creative Container House'.

3. Attention should be paid to compliance and safety in container renovation
When looking for residential container houses, two key points need to be examined:

  • Planning compliance: Shanghai has strict regulations on container-renovated buildings. It is necessary to confirm whether the project has obtained a temporary building permit or has been included in urban renewal pilot projects (such as the Libo Central case).
  • Structural safety: Containers need to undergo moisture-proof, fire-proof, and thermal insulation treatments and comply with residential design specifications to avoid using 'pseudo-container' spaces that are only for decoration.

Suggestion: You can check the备案 (filing) information of creative parks on the official website of the Minhang District Planning and Resources Bureau or contact the investment promotion department of Meilong Town to obtain the latest industrial space dynamics. Priority should be given to compliant projects that have passed LEED certification or have been included in the '15-minute community life circle'.
