This new initiative will take advantage of the retail and hotel alliance to boost sales and traffic during the Christmas shopping season.
The 67,500-square-foot Harbour North@VIC mall and the 665-room Hotel VIC together comprise a brand new landmark on Hong Kong Island that combines shopping with hotel facilities, providing an extraordinary one-stop destination for shopping, entertainment and leisure activities tailored for the city’s discerning customers.

A total investment of HK$3.2 billion with 160 shops to be opened in three phases
The retail section of Harbour North has a gross floor area of approximately 220,000 square feet. The shopping complex is being developed and will be launched in three phases with a total of 160 shops ranging from 150 square feet to 29,000 square feet. The whole shopping complex comprises a total investment of HK$3.2 billion. The first phase that opened today, Harbour North @VIC, is located on the lower floors of Hotel VIC. The five storeys of retail and dining areas have a gross floor area of about 67,500 square feet, delivering 60 retail spaces including over 50 retail outlets and 8 sea view restaurants.

Enjoying the advantage of its waterfront location, the new shopping arcade offers 8 sea view restaurants on the 2nd, 3rd and 5th floors, debuting 6 outlets for the first time in Hong Kong including a high-end Cantonese restaurant and an authentic Japanese restaurant. With the concept of a modern lifestyle, the retail sector has attracted nearly 20 acclaimed skincare and beauty brands, as well as other tenants featuring fashion, jewellery, travel and electronic products, creating a unique harbourfront shopping and leisure experience that injects new energy into the North Point community.
Phase 2 will be launched in fourth quarter of 2019 with total estimated annual rental income to reach HK$170 million
Harbour North’s phase 2 is scheduled to be opened in the fourth quarter of 2019. Negotiations with tenants are now in progress. The second phase will cover a 20,000-square-foot al fresco seaside dining area, accounting for 15% of the gross floor area.

Turnover is expected to reach HK$600 to $1,000 per square foot. Rents will range from HK$60 to HK$300 per square foot, with annual rental income estimated to reach HK$170 million after the commencement of all 3 phases.
A seafront promenade combined with public leisure spaces, creating a new one-stop “Stay & Shop” luxury lifestyle experience
Harbour North@VIC and Hotel VIC are only a short walk from North Point MTR station exit A1. Both are perfectly located on the transportation hub of Hong Kong Island with the geographical advantage of being adjacent to Victoria Harbour and waterfront green spaces. The opening of the hotel and its own dining outlets works synergistically with the shopping mall’s retail and dining tenants to attract nearby residents, office executives and tourists by offering a unique one-stop “Stay & Shop” luxury lifestyle experience.
Unique harbourfront shopping and leisure experiences attract Island East residents and office executives
“Harbour North is committed to providing an enjoyable outdoor leisure park for both residents and visitors. The whole project includes a 420-metre waterfront promenade, nearly 160,000 square feet of public open green spaces, and a large open-air plaza to alleviate the shortage of leisure facilities in North Point. The first phase, Harbour North@VIC, is now open and provides a 30,000-square-foot waterfront park with elaborately designed greening elements. The park is already attracting many visitors, adding value to the community and preserving the authentic character of North Point,” said Ms Fiona Chung, General Manager – Leasing Department, SHKP. "Harbour North has been developed based on a modern lifestyle concept. This unique development enjoys the distinct advantage of bordering Victoria Harbour and provides a number of sea view restaurants and ultra-popular merchants. Its distinctive seaside shopping and leisure experience will attract Island East office executives, residents in the area and tourists staying in the neighbouring hotel.”
The only rooftop bar in the area and Hong Kong’s first hotel to provide a self-service check-in counter
Designed as twin towers, Hotel VIC’s 665 rooms and suites offer stunning views of Victoria Harbour. Cruise, the high-end restaurant on the top floor boasts the only rooftop bar in the area. Together with an al fresco dining space, it is a perfect setting for a relaxing dining experience. For leisure facilities, the hotel features a 25-metre outdoor swimming pool, jet pool and an innovative fitness centre. In addition to a sauna, steam bath and a 24-hour gym, the fitness centre includes a special VR flying simulation fitness machine to make exercise fun and effective.
In addition, the hotel utilises smart technology to enhance the total guest experience and is also the first hotel in Hong Kong to provide a self-service check-in counter. From reservation and check-in to check-out, all hotel services can be completed without hassle using a dedicated smartphone app. The entire hotel project has a total investment of nearly HK$4.5 billion, bringing together elegant hardware (architecture and design) and advanced software (services and facilities) with the added advantage of priceless panoramic harbour views.
“As the latest hotel project from Sun Hung Kai Properties, Hotel VIC fully demonstrates its exclusive style, leading guests into a journey of Hong Kong’s unique lifestyle. Since our soft launch in July, the occupancy rate has reached over 90% in the month of November. We believe the opening of the shopping arcade in December peak season will create a collaborative effect, and consequently we expect the booking and occupancy rates during the Christmas and New Year period will reach 100%. We also expect a full house for our hotel buffets, Christmas special Snoopy tea set and our bar and restaurant on twenty-third floor. The prosperity of both the hotel and the shopping arcade will inject more economic power into North Point,” said Mr Byron Ko, General Manager, Hotel VIC on the Harbour.
Shared benefits for hotel guests and shoppers
