Henderson Land Development Company Limited has unveiled Central Yards, its most ambitious and sustainable mixed-use development on the New Central Harbourfront.
With over 1.6 million square feet of gross floor area, Central Yards is poised to become a global harbourfront icon for Hong Kong and the world.
Announcing the official name of the development, Dr. Martin Lee Ka Shing, Chairman of the Group, said: “Deeply rooted in Hong Kong, Central Yards is born from our commitment and love for the city we call home. As a vibrant hub where the treasures of life – nature, culture, joy and ambition come together, Central Yards turns Hong Kong into the world’s grandest stage for future generations.
“Since day one, we set out to push boundaries to lead world-class sustainable designs and innovations. From crafting Central’s largest sky garden for urban biodiversity, to pioneering design innovations for its microclimate, this development embodies our vision of how global cities must evolve – placing people, sustainability and innovation at heart. This unique vision redefines what is possible for Hong Kong. Central Yards is our expanded horizon to the world, shaping Hong Kong’s new chapter,” added Dr. Lee.
Centred on a powerful concept of “The Bridge”, Central Yards is an iconic groundscraper spanning approximately 400m along Victoria Harbour, forming Central’s longest architecture and a new horizontal skyline. Envisioned by Henderson Land in collaboration with an international collective of renowned design and architectural studios – including Hong Kong’s Lead8, London-based AL_A led by Amanda Levete, the Netherlands’ UNStudio, California’s Peter Walker and Partners and London’s Speirs Major and other creative forces – this district acts as a unifying spine that connects together Central’s diverse neighbourhoods and the harbourfront.
Central Yards will offer over 700,000sq ft of premium office and ancillary space, featuring the largest office floorplate in Hong Kong’s CBD – designed for modern headquarters and innovation‑driven financial organisations. More than 70 per cent of Phase 1 office and ancillary space has been leased, with the remaining areas attracting strong interest from leading multinational companies, underscoring the development’s unique positioning as a new financial hub.
