SilverDoor opens first dedicated Shanghai office as China demand doubles

SilverDoor has opened its first dedicated office in Shanghai, China.

The business has had a presence in China since 2017, during which time it built a property partner network, established strong local client relationships, and became one of the first serviced apartment providers to offer local Chinese invoicing capability.

The new office, located at Raffles City in Shanghai's central business district, signals SilverDoor's commitment to China as a market that rewards local presence, strong relationships, and market knowledge to serve both inbound and outbound corporate demand.

The scale of opportunity in China is supported by the business’s own data. SilverDoor’s Q2 2026 figures show China enquiries up year on year, with total reservations doubling over the same period. Demand is running in both directions too: international businesses bringing people into China and Chinese enterprises expanding globally and requiring high quality, compliant, managed accommodation for their internationally- mobile employees.

Following the completion of its merger with Synergy Global Housing in 2025, SilverDoor now operates from 15 offices across four continents, serving clients in 143 countries worldwide. The Shanghai office is the first new office to open under the fully integrated business.

The Shanghai team is led by Hana Huang and James Wills, both of whom bring extensive knowledge and experience of the Shanghai - and wider Chinese - market.

Hana and James are now actively expanding the team and are currently recruiting for new roles including a Business Development Manager to support growth and new business for the overall SilverDoor APAC region, headquartered in Singapore.
