Modern Retail Space Available in Sai Wan.
about this space
This contemporary shop is situated in the developing area of Sai Wan, making it suitable for a restaurant or retail outlet. The space features modern windows that fill the interior with natural light, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. Inside, the shop showcases tiled flooring and white walls, presenting a clean and creative environment. It comes equipped with essential amenities such as a stock room, restrooms, and air conditioning, accommodating various pop-up shop needs. The space is surrounded by hotels and vibrant galleries, providing an engaging setting for emerging brands and startups to connect with customers. This opportunity is perfect for those seeking a mid-term rental option.
the fwv take
Treat this Sai Wan unit as a twelve month Greater China showroom and wholesale appointment base rather than a fashion week venue, because the landlord holds a fixed 365 day term and the floor already carries counters, fitting rooms, garment racks and a dedicated stock room, which is exactly the back of house a brand needs to keep samples on site and run buyer sessions week after week without paying for a build.
What makes this address work for appointment-led trading is the transit geometry, with the Sutherland Street tram stop 46 metres from the door and Sai Ying Pun MTR a five minute walk, so buyers chaining three or four Hong Kong Island meetings in a day arrive without a taxi, while the basement level and on-site lift and parking let load-in and unpacking happen out of public view instead of on a tight kerb along Connaught Road West.
Aesthetically and commercially this reads mid-scale contemporary rather than luxury maison, suiting a three to eight year old ready-to-wear, footwear, eyewear, fragrance or design-led lifestyle label with a minimal rail-led presentation that sits naturally beside the Hollywood Road gallery corridor, and brands at that stage should run the annualised position through our budget calculator before treating the day rate as a short-term figure.
In our experience Hong Kong landlords on annual terms want six to eight weeks between heads of terms and trading, the September and March buyer windows fill first, and the two operational quirks worth raising at enquiry are the restaurant use classification, which needs written confirmation for retail occupation, and lift dimensions, which our production and build team sizes fixtures against before anything is specified.

activation ideas
SS/AW Seasonal Showroom
This is the strongest use of the address because the garment racks, counters, fitting rooms and dedicated stock room already exist, so samples live on site across both seasons without a build. Across 228 sqm you can hold four to six concurrent appointment stations with rails zoned by delivery and keep unsold or archive stock behind the scenes. In practice the fixed 365 day term works in your favour for showroom rental, since you reset rails each market rather than re-signing a venue.
Buyer Appointments and Wholesale Preview
Works well for wholesale appointments largely because of transit geometry: the Sutherland Street tram stop is 46 metres from the door and Sai Ying Pun MTR is a five minute walk, so buyers chaining three or four Hong Kong Island meetings a day arrive without a taxi. Brands running buyer preview days in spaces like this typically set two seated stations near the counters, a rail wall along the white walls, and use the kitchen for coffee service so nobody leaves the floor.
Long-Run Pop-Up Store
Credible as an extended temporary retail base rather than a two week pop-up concept, since the landlord holds a fixed one year term and the unit trades from week one with lighting, furniture, counters and fitting rooms installed. The honest constraint is the basement level, so window graphics, signage and a legible entry sequence carry the work that street frontage would normally do. Card and mobile payment setup runs through our point of sale and payments team alongside stock room routing via the lift.
Sample Sale
Operationally clean for a sample sale space because the basement level contains queue noise, the stock room absorbs replenishment cartons and the lift plus on-site parking keep load-in off the kerb along Connaught Road West. At 228 sqm you can run roughly twelve to sixteen double-sided rails, four till positions at the existing counters and still leave circulation for 80 to 120 shoppers inside at once. Volume days need bodies, and our retail staffing team covers door control, rail resets and fitting room management.
Press Day and Media Preview
Functions well as a press day venue because the kitchen supports catering without a hired mobile setup and the sound and video equipment is already installed for looping campaign film. For a seated or standing editor and stylist programme, plan for 40 to 70 guests across staggered slots rather than filling the 240 person allowance, which suits evening events better than daytime press. Natural light through the modern windows means daytime rail shots for editors need minimal supplementary lighting.
Product Launch
Holds up for a launch because the occupancy allowance of 240 is generous against a 228 sqm footprint, so you can invite widely without capping the list tightly. In practice we would trade the floor down to a single hero plinth zone, push rails to the perimeter and use the stock room as a staging and cloakroom area. The restaurant use classification helps if food and drink service is central to the format, though alcohol service requires its own licence planned weeks ahead.
E-commerce and Content Studio Day
Genuinely usable as a content studio because tiled flooring, white walls and window light give you a neutral base for e-commerce shoot and lookbook work without dressing the shell. Brands holding the annual term typically shoot in the morning across two setups, one against the white wall and one using natural light, then reset rails for trading by midday. Fitting rooms double as talent changing, and the stock room keeps steamed product off camera during a brand shoot.
Influencer Event
Suits an intimate creator event better than a mass one, and 25 to 50 guests is the number where the floor still reads full rather than sparse. What makes this work specifically is the mix of shootable surfaces and back of house, so creators capture content on the trading floor while gifting bags and product swaps stage out of sight in the stock room. Guest lists and creator selection for Hong Kong Island sit within our influencer marketing scope.
Art Exhibition or Gallery Showing
Credible for a gallery-style showing because the Hollywood Road gallery corridor is immediately uphill and the audience in Sai Wan and Sai Ying Pun already walks this district for exactly that reason. White walls and installed lighting give you roughly 30 to 35 linear metres of hangable surface, and the basement level keeps daylight controllable for screen or projection work using the existing video equipment. Wall fixings and any shopfront treatment need landlord consent, which we agree at heads of terms.

the neighbourhood
Po Yan Street is a street in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong, that allows two-way traffic. It was formerly known as St. Stephen Street, and was renamed in 1869. It starts at Hollywood Road and ends at Hospital Road. Po Yan Street is the birthplace of Tung Wah Hospital and the Po Leung Kuk. The Tung Wah Hospital building was completed in 1870, and the Po Leung Kuk initially used space in the hospital as its office. In addition, a theatre, a shelter for the homeless, and a refugee camp were once built on Po Yan Street. The Hong Kong government also constructed sewer facilities in the area on multiple occa

frequently asked
Yes, this 228 sqm ground-facing basement shop in Sai Wan is available for pop-up shops, with the important caveat that the landlord holds a fixed 365 day term rather than a two week window. That makes it a long-run pop-up shop or permanent temporary retail base rather than a fashion week venue you take for ten days. Brands we place at addresses like this in Hong Kong usually run a rolling programme across the year, changing the retail experience each season while keeping the same lease. The existing counters, fitting rooms, garment racks and stock room mean you can trade from week one without waiting on a build. If your brief is genuinely short, tell us at enquiry stage and we will redirect you to shorter formats on Hong Kong Island.
who it suits
Brand Scale
This space fits a brand with a 10 to 40 person team, three or more years of trading, and either an established Asia wholesale book or a DTC business ready to commit to a permanent Hong Kong base. The reason is the lease structure, not the square metres: at a fixed 365 day term, this is a year-long temporary retail space rather than a fashion week venue you take for ten days. At 228 sqm across a basement floor with stock room, fitting rooms, garment racks, kitchen and parking, it carries the operating overhead of a full flagship plus back of house, which means it needs consistent trading revenue or a regional showroom function to justify itself. Where we see mismatches is when a founder-led label with under two years of trading takes an annual lease for what is really a two week collection preview. Those brands should browse all spaces for short-term formats instead. Global houses running 800 sqm concept stores will find the ceiling here too low on volume.
Aesthetic Fit
Clean, gallery-adjacent minimalism works here with almost no fighting the shell. Tiled flooring, white walls and large modern windows give you a neutral envelope that suits contemporary ready-to-wear, technical outerwear, footwear, eyewear, ceramics, fragrance and design-led lifestyle product, the categories that read well against Sai Wan's surrounding art spaces and boutique hotels. Brands using natural materials, rail-led merchandising and simple plinths will look considered on day one. What does not work is heavy heritage maximalism, dark wood and brass salon fit-outs, or luxury jewellery formats that depend on vaulted street presence, because a basement level with tiled floors reads as workshop and studio rather than maison. High-gloss mass-market fast fashion also sits awkwardly against the neighbourhood's slower, curatorial mood. If your identity needs a stronger built statement, plan for branded store design from the outset rather than dressing the existing box.
Best Use Cases
First choice is a year-round fashion showroom and wholesale appointment base for a brand entering Greater China, since the stock room, counters, garment racks, fitting rooms and lift access support buyer sessions and sample storage without extra build. Second choice is a permanent brand flagship or long-run pop-up shop, supported by an occupancy allowance of 240, existing lighting, POS-ready counters, air conditioning and a one minute walk to the Sutherland Street tram stop. Third is a hybrid retail experience and content studio, where white walls and natural light let you shoot lookbooks and social content between trading hours. Fourth is a press day venue and collection preview space, using the kitchen and sound and video equipment for editor and stylist appointments. Fifth is a recurring sample sale space, with the basement level containing queues and noise. Sixth is a food and beverage led brand presentation space, given the licensed restaurant classification.
Budget Signal
This sits in the mid tier for Hong Kong Island retail and well below Central, Causeway Bay or Tsim Sha Tsui prime frontage, which is the entire argument for it. On a per square metre basis across a full year, brands at this stage typically find the effective rate materially lower than a comparable footprint in a Central podium mall, and the fit-out saving is real because lighting, furniture, counters, fitting rooms and AV are already in place. Against hotel event spaces you gain continuity and storage instead of day rates and load-in restrictions. Against co-working showrooms and shared pop-up formats you gain exclusivity, signage control and your own back of house, at the cost of flexibility, since the term is fixed. Model the twelve month position with our budget calculator before committing, and read the basement level as a discount on visibility rather than on quality.
