Pacific Place is a mixed-use development consisting of five office towers, three hotels, and a four-level shopping centre situated along Queensway and Hennessy Road in the districts of Admiralty and Wan Chai, Hong Kong. The newest structure, Six Pacific Place, is located at 50 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai.
The retail component features more than 160 retail outlets and boutiques, complemented by a prominent department store. Within the complex are three luxury five-star hotels, a boutique hotel, three office towers, and 270 serviced apartments that welcome pets.
Owned and operated by Swire Properties, Pacific Place holds a 20% ownership stake in its trio of hotels: Conrad Hong Kong, Island Shangri-La, and JW Marriott Hotel.
History
Swire Properties developed Pacific Place on land that was once part of the historic Victoria Barracks, one of the earliest military sites in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Government sold this land through auctions during redevelopment phases, with Swire securing it in two separate purchases in 1985 and 1986 for a combined sum of US$1 billion. The initial phase debuted in 1988, followed by the launch of the Conrad International Hotel in 1991. The third phase, built by Gammon Construction, was finalized in 2004 and involved redevelopment of older structures on Star Street in Wan Chai.
A comprehensive refurbishment completed in 2011, led by designer Thomas Heatherwick, included significant enhancements to the interiors, exteriors, and architectural elements at an investment exceeding HK$2.1 billion.
