About the neighbourhood
Central stands as Hong Kong's traditional Central Business District (CBD), featuring the highest concentration of Grade A commercial skyscrapers that house leading multinational financial corporations. Iconic landmarks such as the International Finance Centre, Cheung Kong Centre, The Center, Three Garden Road, and Bank of China Tower exemplify the area’s prestigious and premium office spaces, renowned for being among the most expensive in the world. Bordered by Sheung Wan to the west and Admiralty to the east, these areas are increasingly recognized as integral parts of Central, with a growing number of Grade A office buildings emerging. The district is expanding towards the harborfront reclamation area, where Henderson Land has recently secured a prime commercial site for a record HK$50.8 billion. This development, set to be completed in 2032, will feature one multifunctional tower and two interconnected office towers, all connected by a green roof that will serve as an “urban forest,” providing public green spaces, jogging paths, and leisure areas. Central boasts exceptional accessibility through various transportation options, including the Airport Express Hong Kong Station, Central Ferry Piers, and the Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Terminal, solidifying its status as the most vital business hub in the region. In addition to its commercial prominence, Central is a leading shopping destination. The International Finance Centre mall offers a wide range of high-end fashion, lifestyle products, and diverse dining experiences. Notable streets such as Li Yun Street for everyday goods, Hollywood Road for antiques, and Pedder Street for luxury international brands further enhance its retail appeal. For those seeking vibrant nightlife, Lan Kwai Fong and the SOHO area are popular hotspots for locals and expatriates alike. This bustling locale features an array of restaurants, tea houses, bars, and clubs, serving a delightful mix of cuisines from Asia, America, the Middle East, Europe, and beyond.
