The area was the site of Hong Kong's first power station from 1899 to 1922.[1] Starting in 1988, Swire Properties, the developer of Pacific Place, started acquiring properties in the neighborhood. Having acquired a large number of properties there, they started transforming the area into a commercial neighborhood. They retained ownership of the car parks, shops and restaurants, and went into such details as designing specific street signs and street lights.[2]
The area has now evolved into a shopping and dining area with cafes restaurants, bars, galleries, florists and home design outlets as well as arts and cultural programmes like art exhibitions, charity events and cultural performances.
Together with a landscaped environment, these shops have significantly modified the area's economic profile and aspect. The Three Pacific Place Link connects the precinct to the rest of the Pacific Place complex and the Admiralty MTR Station. The 280-metre Link, equipped with travelators,[1] was completed in 2007.
