Regent International Center (Chinese: 新世界·丽晶国际中心,) is a residential building in the district of Xiaoshan, in Hangzhou. Built in 2013, is one of the most populous building in the world with more than 20,000 inhabitants.

The project was initially to build a luxurious hotel, but was changed into a housing block. It contains hospitals, schools, grocery stores and fitness centers.[1]

In 2024, comments to recent short videos of the building on social media compared it to a dystopia, whereas others described it as "the most sustainable living building on earth". The number of 30,000 resident was alleged but not confirmed by any official of reliable source.[2]

It is however frequently cited as the world's largest residential building.[3] · [4]
