Hongkong Land invests US$400 million to transform Landmark into ultra-luxury destination

Hongkong Land has unveiled its 3-year plan for Landmark with an investment of US$400 million (approximately HK$3.1 billion). Dubbed “Tomorrow’s Central,” the project will transform Landmark into an ultra-luxury destination, redefining the future of luxury in Hong Kong and beyond.

Over the next three years, Hongkong Land will revamp Landmark into an “ultra-luxury destination of tomorrow.” Alongside the group’s investment, 10 of the world’s most prestigious brands and other distinguished tenants will also support the plan, for a total investment expected to exceed US$1 billion (approximately HK$ 7.8 billion).

Hongkong Land’s Landmark set to be Hong Kong’s ultra-luxury destination

The reimagined Landmark will feature 10 two-to-eight-storey Maison destinations, bringing together some of the world’s most coveted brands. These brands include Cartier, CHANEL, Dior, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Saint Laurent, Sotheby’s, Tiffany & Co., Van Cleef & Arpels, and more.

Additionally, Landmark will introduce a newly curated universe for beauty and contemporary fashion as well as a jewellery and watch boulevard. Upon completion, the shopping mall will offer an elevated luxury retail experience on par with some of the world’s most prestigious locations. Guests can enjoy highly exclusive experiences unique to the mall.

Moreover, Hongkong Land’s plan for Landmark will include an expanded F&B portfolio. More than 30 new concepts will be joining, with over 100 unique offerings. Two newly-built restaurants will debut in Landmark Prince’s and a new dining and bar concept will take over the iconic 25th-floor restaurant and terrace of the building.

Construction and timeline

Aside from luxury, Hongkong Land is committed to sustainability in all its projects, including Landmark. The construction will feature green building materials and a majority electric construction plant and equipment to reduce emissions. Upon completion, it aims to be one of the greenest property upgrades in Hong Kong.

The plan will take a total of three years to complete. The transformation will be done in phases, allowing the Landmark mall to stay open during the process. The refurbishment of The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong will begin this November. During this phase, the hotel can accommodate room reservations until the end of August, while MO Bar, PDT, and The Oriental Spa will close in late October. Meanwhile, its four restaurants — Amber, SOMM, Sushi Shikon, and Kappo Rin — will remain open.

In just a few weeks, we will begin to see the start of this new chapter. International auction house Sotheby’s, one of the key participating brands, will unveil its new space this July. Housed in Landmark Chater, the new opening includes an immersive art exhibition as well as a retail space.
