Sun Hung Kai bets on arts and finance at West Kowloon hub

Mar 23rd 2026 · Hong Kong

Sun Hung Kai Properties is linking arts, offices and transport at West Kowloon by building the Artist Square Towers and the International Gateway Centre as it positions the district to attract finance firms amid subdued office demand.

  • Sun Hung Kai Properties is the sole developer building the Artist Square Towers in the West Kowloon Cultural District.
  • The company is rolling out a new grade A office tower, the International Gateway Centre, to avoid internal competition across its 8 million sq ft West Kowloon portfolio.
  • The development aims to blend arts and culture with cross border and airport connectivity via the high speed rail terminus and the Airport Express.
  • The West Kowloon arts hub recently secured bank loans and planned a bond sale to steady its finances.
  • Sun Hung Kai expects Hong Kong's push as a cross border asset and wealth management hub to attract top tier finance firms to the district.
