History
The development of this site began in 1990 through a collaboration between the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation and Sun Hung Kai Properties, with a land premium payment close to HK$2.5 billion made in 1993. The architectural design for Grand Century Place was created by Hong Kong-based firm Wong & Ouyang. The Royal Plaza Hotel launched as the hospitality segment of this project in 1997.
