Taikoo Place
Taikoo Place (Chinese: 太古坊; Jyutping: taai3 gu2 fong1; pinyin: Tàigǔfāng) is a commercial building complex located in Quarry Bay, east Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. It comprises grade A office towers, car parking, clubs, office apartment, parks, and shops. It is reachable by MTR Island line (MTR). These three complexes are all managed by Swire Properties since the beginning from Taikoo Sugar Refinery, the subsequent Taikoo Dockyard and the recent demolitions of the industrial buildings.
Since the 1980s, Taikoo Place has been redeveloped to become a unique metropolitan environment for business and entertainment. Until now, notable amenities include the Butterfield's private members club. It is recognized as a popular choice for younger workers to seek employment.
Taikoo Place hosts many advertisement and information technology firms. The PCCW Tower, the tower just next to Dorset House is where the headquarters of PCCW are located, a Hong Kong-based telecommunication company. The local headquarters of IBM and JWT is also situated there, occupying the first 15 storeys. Ironically, more IT firms choose to have their Hong Kong base in Taikoo Place rather than in Cyberport, which was specifically built for this purpose.
The neighbourhood of Taikoo Place used to be residential and industrial. Once Taikoo Place was built, the neighbourhood has been undergoing constant development and gentrification. Concerned about the urban development, Swire Properties has begun construction of serviced apartments north of Devon House, due for completion in 2015.
Gammon Construction has been one of the major construction company involved.
One Island East is a grade-A office. It is 69-storey. It is located at 18 Westlands Road, Quarry Bay, Hong Kong. It was completed in year 2008.
Hong Kong Island East Center tenants come from finance, insurance, accounting, real estate, trade, shipping to retailing.
FWD Tower (formerly known as Devon House; 1993) is located at 979 King's Road, Quarry Bay, Hong Kong. Devon House is a grade A office with 29 floors. Major tenants include: FWD Group, Kinmen Building, Philip Morris, China Airlines, Jardine, Dairy Farm International and other rentals.
