    Roxy to co-develop with SkyCity project

    Airport Authority Hong Kong has awarded Roxy Limited the right to design, develop and manage the SkyCity project at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA).

    It will be the largest integrated retail, dining and entertainment development in the colony.

    Roxy is a wholly owned subsidiary of New World Development Company, while the project itself is regarded as a crucial part of the overall long-term development of HKIA. The award follows an open tender exercise that attracted bids from local and international developers and retail companies.

    Next to HKIA’s passenger terminals, the development is scheduled to open in phases from 2023 to 2027. It will have a maximum gross floor area of 350,000sqm, with retail, dining and entertainment for visitors and local residents of all ages.

    SkyCity covers about 25ha at the airport, which served 72.9 million passengers in the past year. Passenger traffic is projected to rise to more than 100 million by 2030 with the completion of a three-runway system.

    SkyCity will also tap into the potential of the Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok Link and Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, embracing the Pearl River Delta.

    HKIA announces plans for SkyCity development

    SkyCity will feature retail complexes, entertainment facilities, dining space, hotels, and office towers in approximately 25 hectares of land at the north of the airport island.

    The SkyCity plan was unveiled at “The Future of Shopping Malls” Business Conference and Exhibition hosted today by the AA. More than 300 senior executives from the property development and investment sectors of Hong Kong and major overseas markets, as well as representatives from the HKSAR government, business associations and professional bodies, attended the event.

    Mr Jack So Chak-kwong, chairman of the AA said: “Our vision is to create a new destination that goes far beyond the traditional notion of a shopping mall. Located right next to the airport, SKYCITY aims to capture broad opportunities in tourism and business, while also providing a dynamic lifestyle and family entertainment hub for Hong Kong residents and visitors alike.”

    HKIA’s passenger traffic is projected to rise to more than 100 million by 2030 with the completion of the three-runway system. SkyCity will make use of the Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok Link and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, strategic road links.

    Phase 1 of the project will comprise a retail, dining and entertainment (RDE) destination of 195,000 sq. metres, scheduled to open in 2021, and a hotel providing 450 to 750 rooms, expected to be completed in 2020. Invitations for tender submissions for the hotel and RDE developments will be issued in November 2016 and early 2017 respectively.
