SHKP Quarterly

Creating a unique commercial cluster in West Kowloon With foresight into the development of Kowloon Station and the Airport Express Line (AEL), the Group embarked on its investment journey in West Kowloon two decades ago. Among its notable achievements is ICC, which was completed in 2011 and stands as the most iconic landmark, claiming the title of the tallest building in Hong Kong. The opening of the High Speed Rail West Kowloon Terminus in 2018 further solidified West Kowloon’s standing as a core business district. The Group’s High Speed Rail West Kowloon Terminus Development is situated right on top of Hong Kong’s only High Speed Rail station and adjoins the AEL and three MTR lines. It enjoys unparalleled access to various districts within Hong Kong, as well as cities on the mainland and all over the world. Furthermore, the development will be strongly connected with neighboring communities, as it will be seamlessly integrated into a 1.5-kilometre-long walkway that will link Jordan and Yau Ma Tei with the West Kowloon promenade. Designed by renowned Zaha Hadid Architects, the development comprises two sets of twin commercial buildings. It offers a total of about 2.6 million square feet of premium grade-A office (IGC) and approximately 600,000 square feet of retail space. The Group holds the entire retail portion and about 1.2 million square feet of the office portion as a long-term investment. The remaining portion of the office space is held by two long-term strategic investors. Group Chairman and Managing Director Raymond Kwok highlighted the significance of the new development, along with the Artist Square Towers Project, which is under construction, ICC, and two luxury hotels slated for refurbishment. They will create a unique commercial cluster in Hong Kong, providing premium office and retail space that will enhance the district’s reputation as a prominent hub for commerce, culture, arts, retail, entertainment and transportation.
