2,771 Sqft Shop Available on 1st Floor in Wanchai.
tl;dr
- Space
- A 257 sqm (2,771 sq ft) bare shell first floor retail unit for rent in Causeway Bay on the Wan Chai District border of Hong Kong Island, laid out as a single open plate with elevator access and fitted back of house. The shell condition means brands build their own concept from the slab, so it reads as a blank fashion showroom rather than an inherited store.
- Best For
- Strongest fit is a full term flagship or concept retail space, followed by a permanent fashion showroom running wholesale appointments and buyer previews behind a public retail zone. Also available for press day and collection preview use, cocktail receptions and private evening events for up to roughly 270 guests, and sample sale space or content studio hire between selling seasons.
- Standout Features
- Fitted back of house already in place, including a dedicated stock room, fitting rooms, counters and garment racks, which removes the most expensive part of a retail fit-out. Also installed are sound and video equipment, a kitchen suitable for catering setup, air conditioning and heating, a security system, on-site parking and elevator access straight to the floor, so a press day, buyer appointments and an evening reception can run in one venue without moving.
- Location
- Causeway Bay MTR is around 3 minutes on foot, the Yee Wo Street tram stop around 2 minutes, and Hysan Place with Eslite and Apple sits roughly 1 minute away in Wan Chai District on Hong Kong Island. Ground level is fast moving with noodle shops, 7-Eleven and student traffic from mid afternoon, while the lift ride up drops the noise and the floor reads as a private address, which suits invitation-led formats and makes crew load-in straightforward.
- Availability
- Minimum rental period is 365 days at an indicative day rate of HK$3,166 (about EUR 352), with management fees of HK$7,343 per month, air conditioning at HK$8,867 per month and government rates of HK$13,500 per quarter charged separately. Allow 8 to 12 weeks lead time in Hong Kong for landlord approval and shell to store build, and note that floors of this size around Causeway Bay typically book ahead of the March art week and the September CENTRESTAGE window, so final terms are brief-based pricing on request.
- How to Book
- Enquire through Fashion Week Venues with your dates, format and build requirements and we reply within 24h with confirmed availability, landlord terms and a costed shell to store plan. Permit paperwork, staffing and fit-out coordination are handled by our team on the brand's behalf, and this address has been vetted by Fashion Week Venues, so request availability now to hold the floor.

activation ideas
SS/AW Seasonal Showroom
This works well as a seasonal showroom because the back of house is already fitted: stock room, garment racks, counters and fitting rooms mean you are not building storage or changing areas into a bare shell. Across 257 sqm you can hang a full two season buy along one wall and still hold three or four appointment settings on the open plate. Brands running showroom rental on upper floors like this usually bring in tables and seating through furniture rental rather than shipping them.
Buyer Appointments and Wholesale Preview
Strong fit, primarily because a first floor address with elevator access removes walk-in traffic entirely and lets you run a controlled appointment diary. The 2,771 sq ft plate divides comfortably into three appointment zones plus a stock room for backup sizes and reorders, with the kitchen handling coffee and working lunches on site. One practical constraint: there is a single lift, so stagger buyer arrivals at twenty minute intervals rather than clustering them.
Press Day and Media Preview
A credible press day venue because installed sound and video equipment, air conditioning and a working kitchen cover the three things press days usually need trucked in. In practice 40 to 60 press and stylists move through 257 sqm without congestion if you keep rails to the perimeter and leave the centre open for product plinths. Wan Chai and Admiralty hotel clusters are close enough that visiting international press arrive within a short taxi or MTR ride.
Sample Sale
Operationally this is one of the easier sample sale spaces to run, since fitting rooms, counters, garment racks and a dedicated stock room are already in place. The floor absorbs roughly 80 to 120 shoppers at a time with till queuing along the counter run and replenishment coming straight from the stock room. Because there is no street visibility, plan for a downstairs queue marshal and a pre-registered guest list, and confirm point of sale and payments coverage well before doors.
Product Launch
Suited to a launch because the sound and video equipment is installed and the single open plate gives you one clear sightline for a reveal moment. Stated occupancy is around 270, but be honest with the guest list: 120 to 150 standing reads far better once you allow for product display, a bar and a photo moment. The stock room doubles as a staging area for gifting and press kits, and parking helps with talent arrival.
Influencer Event and Cocktail Reception
Works particularly well for invitation led evening formats, because the lift ride up separates guests from the fast moving street below and the floor immediately reads as a private address. The kitchen handles catering staging without external prep tents, and the security system plus lift control gives you a clean door policy for around 100 to 140 guests. Pair the guest list with influencer marketing support, since this location converts on intent rather than passing footfall.
Content Studio and E-commerce Shoot
Bare shell condition is the reason this works as a content studio: nothing inherited to hide, full electrical supply and lighting already run in. Mornings are quiet on this stretch, so a crew of eight to twelve can shoot e-commerce or editorial through to early afternoon without street noise bleeding in. Fitting rooms serve as talent changing, the stock room holds wardrobe and steamers, and the lift takes kit up without a street level load-in problem.
Concept Retail and Long Run Brand Activation
This is a genuine temporary retail proposition rather than a two week pop-up, because the minimum term is 365 days and the shell needs building before day one. What makes it work is amortisation: fit-out spend spreads across a full trading year, with fitting rooms, counters and stock room already specified for continuous retail. Budget the shell to store build properly with production and build, and drive traffic through marketing rather than assuming street discovery.
Workshop or Masterclass
Adequate to good for workshop formats, mainly because the kitchen, furniture and installed sound and video cover the practical needs of a seated session. Realistically 30 to 40 participants at tables is the comfortable ceiling on 257 sqm once you allow demonstration space and a materials station. Run these as daytime programming alongside a retail or showroom tenancy rather than as the sole reason to take a floor of this size.

the neighbourhood
Independent Hong Kong labels, Korean and Japanese beauty importers, streetwear distributors, casting agents and the buying offices that service them all work within a few minutes of this address, and most of them trade from upper floors rather than street level. The pocket bounded by Kai Chiu Road, Yun Ping Road, Lan Fong Road and Jardine's Bazaar is where the city's upstairs retail culture is densest: multi brand boutiques above noodle shops, private styling rooms, nail and tattoo studios, photographers renting by the half day, and small wholesale offices with sample rails visible through the window. Within a hundred metres you have Hysan Place with Eslite and Apple, Laforet drawing a younger Japanese leaning crowd, Fashion Walk along Kingston and Paterson, and Carhartt, Mardi Mercredi, Marithé François Girbaud and Giordano Ladies all trading in walking distance, with Kwun Kee Tailor and the older Bazaar traders still holding their ground alongside them. When we handle venue sourcing for brands entering Hong Kong Island, this is consistently the cluster where local press, stylists and buyers already circulate on an ordinary working day, which shortens the distance between opening the doors and getting the right people through them.
Brands pick this side of Causeway Bay over Central because the cost per square foot is materially kinder and the audience is domestic rather than corporate. Central, meaning Landmark, the Pedder Building and H Queen's, delivers prestige and finance sector footfall at rents that force short, expensive activations and reward flagship budgets only. Tsim Sha Tsui and Canton Road remain tourist and mainland shopper territory, strong on volume, weaker on credibility with the local fashion community. Star Street and the Queen's Road East stretch of Wan Chai are quieter and better looking, though the audience thins noticeably after seven in the evening. What this address gives you instead is 2,771 sqft of bare shell on one first floor plate with elevator access, stock room, fitting rooms, kitchen and parking, enough to run a press day in the morning, buyer appointments through the afternoon and a cocktail reception at night without changing venue. Causeway Bay MTR and the tram put international press and buyers within easy reach of the Wan Chai and Admiralty hotel clusters. Model the full commitment through our budget calculator first, because the management fee, air conditioning charge and quarterly rates are real recurring lines and the landlord side here expects a year, not a fortnight.
Arriving here feels less like walking into a shop and more like keeping an appointment, which is exactly why invitation led formats work on this floor. Street level below moves fast and commercially, with 7-Eleven, dai pai dong style noodle counters and convenience traffic from early morning until late, but the lift ride strips the noise out and the plate reads as a private address the moment you step in. Mornings are calm and genuinely workable as a content studio or brand shoot location, with deliveries and office staff the main movement outside. From roughly two in the afternoon the pavement fills with students, local shoppers and Hysan Place overflow, and weekends stay dense until closing. What we consistently hear from brand teams who activate here is that the rhythm suits showroom rental, sample sale space and ticketed evening events where guests arrive with intent, and the bare shell means you should budget properly for production and build rather than assume a light dress. One honest limitation: this is not an address for spontaneous walk in traffic or maximum street visibility. First floor units in this district convert on invitation, street level signage and pre booked appointments, never on passing tourists.

the neighbourhood
Great George Street is a street in the busiest shopping area of Causeway Bay on Hong Kong Island in Hong Kong. It was in the area formerly known as East Point. Starting west at the great junction with East Point Road, Hennessy Road, Yee Wo Street, and also further junction with Jardine's Bazaar and Jardine's Crescent, the street runs east to the junction with Gloucester Road, leading from Exit E of MTR Causeway Bay Station to Victoria Park, crossing Paterson Street in the middle, forming a busy shopping street crowding with people in weekends and holidays, especially when events are held in Vi

frequently asked
Yes, but only within a longer tenancy, because the landlord here sets a 365 day minimum on this 2,771 sq ft first floor unit in Causeway Bay on the Wan Chai District border. That means you can absolutely run a pop-up shop or temporary retail concept inside the space, but you are taking the floor for a year rather than a fortnight. Brands that want a short-term rental in Hong Kong usually either sublicense part of the plate for seasonal drops or use the year to rotate several activations through one address. In our experience handling bookings at first floor Hong Kong Island addresses like this, the brands that get the best value treat the tenancy as a permanent base and layer pop-up moments, sample sale weekends and press days on top of continuous trading. If your brief is genuinely two to six weeks, tell us at enquiry stage and we will point you to shorter formats instead.
who it suits
Brand Scale
This 2,771 sq ft first floor space in Causeway Bay adjacent Wanchai suits an established mid-market to upper mid-market brand with a 20 to 100 person team, five or more years of trading, and an existing Asia-Pacific distribution or franchise conversation already underway. The scale reason is straightforward: 257 sqm across a single first floor plate with a fitted stock room, fitting rooms, counters and garment racks is a full retail unit, not a satellite. It requires stock depth, a rostered team of four to eight people, and a merchandising plan capable of holding a floor this size without looking underfilled. The 365 day minimum lease term also removes this from short-cycle activation territory entirely, so a brand needs the trading forecast to justify a year of committed occupancy plus management fees, air conditioning charges and quarterly government rates. Where we see mismatches is when a founder-led label with under two years of trading and no Hong Kong entity treats a listing like this as a test market. That profile should look at smaller short-term commercial space instead. Equally, a global flagship-tier maison will find a first floor position without street frontage wrongly positioned for its brand hierarchy. Brands weighing market entry across the region often start with our city compare tool before committing to a Hong Kong lease of this length.
Aesthetic Fit
Bare-shell condition makes this a design-forward brand's space, and the aesthetics that land hardest here are contemporary apparel, streetwear, denim, lifestyle sportswear and accessible luxury accessories with a strong graphic or architectural retail identity. The shell means you build your own language from the slab up rather than working around inherited finishes, which favours brands with an existing global store concept and a fit-out manual to deploy. The neighbourhood context supports this: Carhartt, Mardi Mercredi, Marithé François Girbaud, Giordano Ladies and Laforet sit within a short walk, alongside Apple, Leica and Fashion Walk. That reads as a young, brand-literate, design-aware Hong Kong shopper. What does not work is heritage luxury requiring a shopfront-level jewel-box presentation, or a fragrance and fine jewellery brand dependent on street visibility for impulse discovery, because a first floor position asks the customer to make a deliberate decision to come up. Also a poor fit is any brand wanting a plug-and-play turnkey interior with zero build spend, since bare shell means capital expenditure before day one. Brands without an in-house retail architect typically bring us in for branded store design to translate the global concept into this specific floorplate.
Best Use Cases
First choice is a full-term flagship or concept retail store, because the 365 day minimum, the fitting rooms, counters, garment racks, stock room and kitchen are all specified for continuous trading rather than a two-week run. Second choice is a permanent fashion showroom with wholesale appointment capability, since the first floor privacy, elevator access and generous 257 sqm allow a split between a public retail zone and a buyer-facing collection preview room. Third choice is a long-run retail experience or brand presentation space combining trading floor with in-store events, supported by installed sound and video equipment and an occupancy allowance of around 270 people. Fourth is private event and cocktail reception hosting, workable given the kitchen, air conditioning, lighting and elevator, and best used as a secondary function within a retail tenancy rather than the primary purpose. Fifth is a press day venue and content studio combination, where the bare-shell volume and controllable lighting make set building straightforward between selling seasons. Sixth is a sample sale space, viable given the stock room and fitting rooms but under-using a year-long commitment. In our experience the profile that gets the most from this space runs retail as the core and layers events and press moments on top, which is where our activation service tends to earn its keep.
Budget Signal
Priced per square foot, this sits in the mid tier for Causeway Bay and Wanchai, materially below ground floor street retail on Hennessy Road or inside Fashion Walk, and above secondary Kowloon or Sheung Wan alternatives. The trade you are making is explicit: you give up street frontage and passing footfall, and you buy floor area, a fitted back of house, and a lease structure that lets you amortise fit-out across a full year rather than absorbing it in a fortnight. Against hotel event spaces in Hong Kong, this is far cheaper per usable day but demands build capital and staffing. Against co-working and shared pop-up formats, it costs more but delivers total brand control, your own fitting rooms, your own point of sale and no shared identity. Brands at this stage typically find the effective cost per selling day drops well below prime commercial once the first three months are trading, provided footfall is driven by marketing rather than assumed. Budget honestly for shell to store build, management fees, air conditioning charges and quarterly rates before comparing headline figures, and pressure test the numbers alongside comparable spaces in the wider marketplace.
