Taikoo Place
Home to Swire for over 100 years, Taikoo Place has transformed from an industrial area housing the Taikoo Dockyard and Taikoo Sugar Refinery into a Global Business District spanning 10 office towers, with six million sq ft of gross floor area. Taikoo Place encompasses business and leisure amenities, including Blueprint, a 30,000 sq ft co-working space, The Refinery private members’ club, and ArtisTree – a 7,000 sq ft multipurpose venue. These functions and amenities work together to boost productivity and tenant wellbeing, while uplifting the surrounding neighbourhood and integrating the development with the local community. It also comprises landscaped gardens, Taikoo Park and a variety of restaurants and cafes.
The ongoing redevelopment of Taikoo Place includes the addition of One Taikoo Place and Two Taikoo Place, world-class triple Grade-A office towers offering 2 million sq ft of prime office space and enhanced facilities. Two Taikoo Place was designed and built to the highest sustainability standards, achieving Final Platinum ratings for LEED, WELL and BEAM Plus.In addition, Taikoo Place received a final Gold rating under LEED v4.1 for Cities and Communities: Existing, making the complex the first project in Hong Kong to receive LEED for Communities certification.
Two new lush gardens, Taikoo Square and Taikoo Garden, will provide 69,000 sq ft of green space with native trees and water features for the enjoyment of the community. These landscaped areas will enhance urban biodiversity by facilitating the movement of birds, butterflies and other wildlife between urban green spaces. Both gardens will be completed in 2024.
