A Mega Mall in a Mega City

Officially opened in April 1994, Times Square is one of the largest shopping malls in Hong Kong. Owned by Wharf Properties Limited, Times Square is leased by Harriman Leasing Limited and managed by Times Square Limited. A significant landmark in Hong Kong, the twin towers of Times Square rise 46 and 39 storeys high above the hustle and bustle of the vibrant Causeway Bay.

Renowned as one of the 10 most popular tourist destinations in Hong Kong, this popular tourist destination was constructed upon the site of the original Hong Kong Tramways tram depot.

However, the executive council permitted Tramway’s plan to reposition its depots to Sai Ying Pun and Sai Wan Ho. Plans were declared to create an office and retail complex with a cost that was estimated in the region of 2 billion HK$.

This part of Causeway Bay was then considered not so attractive, but today it offers primer property that is located at the very core of Causeway Bay.

The most convenient way to get to Times Square is by MTR which is Hong Kong’s Subway and Train System. Visitors can come through the underground passage which directly links the complex, and the exit coined "A1" opens into the ground floor podium level. Visitors can also take the century-old tram in order to get to this striking masterpiece.

The current location of Times Square boasts a massive 900,000 square feet of retail space, over one million square feet of grade A office space, and 700 car parking spaces on four basement levels, making it the largest car park in Causeway Bay.

Times Square is recognized as the first vertical mall in Hongkong. All its facilities are spread over 16 floors and are carefully divided into retail, entertainment, recreational and dining areas. The property houses over 230 exciting shops, a multi-cinema compound along with the most up to date technology. Times Square also takes pride in being one of the first buildings in Hongkong to feature comprehensive fiber optic telecommunications systems and dual telephone exchanges.

Visitors can easily explore and feel the excitement of this mega mall by staying at any of the all inclusive and well appointed Hotels in Hongkong. Travelers can plan their stay at a Hongkong Island Hotel such as Hotel Jen which is renowned for offering a blend of traditional hospitality and contemporary facilities that suits the needs of both corporate and leisure traveler.
