Pacific Place is a complex of office towers, hotels and a shopping centre in Admiralty, Hong Kong.

History

Pacific Place was developed by Swire. It is built on land formerly part of Victoria Barracks, one of the first military compounds in Hong Kong. The land was auctioned by the Hong Kong Government during redevelopment and was successfully bid for by Swire. Phase Three was developed from old buildings on Star Street, Wan Chai. The time gap between construction of this latest Phase and the older Two is about ten years.

Location

Along Queensway, the complex is located just above a station where two main lines of the MTR, Hong Kong's underground mass transportation network, meet, above Admiralty Station on the Island Line and Tsuen Wan Line of the MTR.

It is part of the Central Elevated Walkway network.

Three Pacific Place, on Queen's Road East in Wan Chai, is Swire's latest addition to the portfolio of Pacific Place. A long undergournd tunnel connecting Admiralty Station, Pacific Place and Three Pacific Place, connects Three Pacific Place in Wan Chai the Pacific Place complex in Admiralty. It was officially opened on 26 February 2007. The cost of the construction was HK$100 million (US$10.3 million).

Shops and buildings

Basement: There is a food court and restaurants in the basement, including Oliver's Super Sandwiches, Maxim's Peking Garden and Sichuan Garden Restaurant. In 2000, Oliver's became the fast food restaurant "eating plus." In 2002, Maxim's Thai Basil opened here. In 2004, "eating plus" ceased operations and became the Metropolitan Café. Maxim's two Chinese restaurants above have the longest history in Pacific Place of all the restaurants, at over 15 years. In 2008, there was a restaurant reorganisation, and Zen Peninsula's former location was taken by Thai Basil and Japanese restaurant ROKA. Zen Peninsula took over Peking Garden and Sichuan Garden Restaurant's spot, and Peking Garden occupied Thai Basil's location.

Phase Two's basement also has gourmet supermarket grEAT and a carpark.
