Hysan Development Company and Chinachem Group (CCG) have joined hands to deliver Lee Garden Eight, a mixed-use commercial development in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong.
The project is due for completion in the second quarter (Q2) of 2026.
Lee Garden Eight, designed by UK-based architecture and design studio Foster + Partners, is set to be a community hub that offers more than 100,000ft² of retail space along with a focus on green, indoor-outdoor spaces.
The development comprises 25 storeys in Towers 1 and 2 and 16 storeys in Tower 3, excluding five shared basement levels across all three towers, which house approximately 610 parking spaces equipped with electric vehicle charging facilities.
The project will include 60,000ft² of green open space, which connects to the existing Lee Gardens area.
The design promotes tree-lined streetscapes, an open market, and a cultural performance area.
The development is also set to feature the largest commercial floor plate on Hong Kong Island.
The design's green spine, with balconies at every level, is stated to ensure that the building's occupants are placed in a natural environment.
The design is claimed to prioritise spatial flexibility, with floor plates reaching up to 39,000ft², allowing for entire organisations to occupy single floors.
Lee Garden Eight incorporates a range of sustainable features, including 3.25m-high ceilings and 2.15m-wide electric operable windows to support natural ventilation. More than 50% of the space will receive at least four hours of natural light daily, stated Hysan.
These measures are claimed to be part of a broader strategy aimed at reducing carbon emissions throughout the building's life cycle while also enhancing biophilic connections for occupants and promoting biodiversity in the surrounding landscape.
Hysan executive director and COO Ricky Lui said: "Lee Garden Eight is the result of a close partnership between our team and Foster + Partners. From the very beginning, there has been a strong alignment in vision - both teams are committed to creating a place that is not only commercially successful but also meaningful to the city's fabric."
Chinachem Group executive director and CFO Ricky Tsang said: "As a landmark commercial development in the vibrant heart of Causeway Bay, adhering to the highest green building standards, Lee Garden Eight underscores CCG's dedication to shaping a greener, more liveable Hong Kong for our future generations."
