Maritime Square (Chinese: 青衣城; Cantonese Yale: Chīngyī sìhng) is a four-storey shopping centre located on Tsing Yi Island in the New Territories of Hong Kong. It was built and is owned by MTR Corporation (MTRC) in conjunction with the opening of Tsing Yi station.
History
[edit | edit source]The shopping centre opened on 1 April 1999 and has a floor area of 46,000 square metres (500,000 sq ft). The landlords claimed in December 2004 that daily pedestrian traffic at the mall is 170,000.[1]
MTR expanded the shopping centre onto the site of the Tsing Yi lorry park.[2] Some opposed the plan because it blocks the already crowded skyline. The MTR broke ground on the $2.4 billion project in 2015, and work was completed in 2017.[2]
Design
[edit | edit source]Maritime Square is the first shopping mall in Hong Kong adopting ocean and navigation as the design theme.
