apm stands as a prominent retail complex located in Kwun Tong, Hong Kong, which commenced operations in July 2005. It forms part of the Millennium City 5 development, a commercial project by Sun Hung Kai Properties positioned along Kwun Tong Road. Conveniently adjacent to Kwun Tong station, apm encompasses ten floors, offering extensive retail space and features underground parking with hourly rates.
Origin of the name "apm"
The term apm merges the abbreviations "am" (ante meridiem) and "pm" (post meridiem), symbolizing the mall's emphasis on prolonged evening shopping and entertainment, encapsulated by the motto "play more, sleep less". Unlike typical malls in Hong Kong that close by 10pm, most outlets at apm remain open past midnight to serve customers with extended working hours and provide late-night retail experiences.
From its inception in 2005, apm targeted a youthful demographic, filling a void in Kowloon East by establishing itself as a fashionable shopping destination. It draws patrons not only from local neighborhoods but also from Hong Kong Island and New Territories East. The mall’s lobby frequently hosts live performances by emerging artists and acts as a venue for marketing activities such as autograph sessions and premieres, reinforcing its role as an entertainment center.
Architecture and Amenities
apm is designed as a "vertical mall," featuring floor plates approximately and totaling nearly of space distributed over ten levels.
A notable attribute is its connectivity: four air-conditioned pedestrian bridges connect the mall directly to MTR Kwun Tong Station, Yue Man Square / Kwun Tong Road, Entrepot Centre, and Crocodile Centre. Centrally placed express escalators enable swift vertical transit for shoppers throughout the building.
