Veteran actor Robert De Niro is planning to come up with a complex featuring hotels, restaurants and a cultural centre.
The 70-year-old Oscar winner has teamed up with local businessmen in Shanghai to launch a venture called Project 179, said the Hollywood Reporter.
"By ensuring a design that reflects the vibrant history of Shanghai, Project 179 can serve as a jewel in its crown: ushering in a bright future while paying homage to its rich and storied past," De Niro said.
In addition to Project 179, De Niro's business ventures also include Tribeca Productions, Tribeca Enterprises and Tribeca Film Festival, as well as renowned restaurants and hotels, including the Nobu Hospitality Group, Tribeca Grill and Locanda Verde.
