[edit] History

Homi Villa, was built by a private developer, Jehangir H. Ruttonjee, in the early 1930s. It was later bought by the Hong Kong Government and used as staff quarters for British army officers.

The facade of the old building has been restored and the building now houses the Airport Core Programme Exhibition Centre [1].
