Restaurant Space Available in Causeway Bay.
tl;dr
- Space
- 163 sqm corner unit for rent in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, measuring 1,750 sq ft gross and approximately 1,057 sq ft net across a basement floor. The unit is fitted as a licensed restaurant with wide double frontage onto a heavy footfall dining street and capacity for 170 guests.
- Best For
- Food and drink led brand activation space with service kitchen, cocktail receptions and seated private dinners for up to 170, temporary retail and pop-up store runs using the existing counters and fitting rooms, and buyer preview or wholesale appointment days. Also available as a content studio and brand shoot location during off trading hours.
- Standout Features
- Transferable food and beverage licence passing at nominal cost, three phase 200 AMP power supply capable of carrying full kitchen and production lighting loads, and three separate toilets serving the guest floor. Retail fit-out is already in place with counters, fitting rooms, garment racks, stock room, sound and video equipment, lift access and parking, all vetted by Fashion Week Venues, and gas can be installed where a working kitchen is required.
- Location
- Causeway Bay MTR is roughly 4 minutes on foot, Yee Wo Street tram stops are about 3 minutes, and Tin Hau MTR is around 10 minutes, in the Causeway Bay district of Hong Kong Island. The immediate streets carry constant restaurant and shopper traffic with Uniqlo, Zara, Apple and Emperor Cinemas inside 150 metres, so crews hire loading windows early and guests arrive on foot rather than by car.
- Availability
- Minimum rental period is 365 days, with an indicative day rate of HK$10,667, approximately EUR 1,185, and shorter activation windows considered on request. Hong Kong demand peaks around CENTRESTAGE in September, Art Basel in March and the Chinese New Year retail run, so allow 8 to 12 weeks lead time because Causeway Bay corner units at this size typically book well ahead of those dates.
- How to Book
- Submit a brief with dates, guest numbers and build requirements and our Hong Kong team will reply within 24h with confirmed availability and a costed proposal. Licence transfer and permit paperwork, event staffing and fit-out coordination are handled by Fashion Week Venues, with no charge until confirmed, so enquire now to hold your dates.

activation ideas
Pop-Up Store and Temporary Retail
This works as a pop-up concept out of the box because the retail fit-out already exists, with counters, fitting rooms, garment racks and a dedicated stock room behind the trading floor. Roughly 98 sqm net across the basement level holds two to three rails plus a till point and a styling zone without crowding. The corner frontage does the recruitment job on a street that already pulls Uniqlo, Zara and Topshop traffic, and our retail staffing team covers the shift pattern for a seven day trading week.
Food and Drink Led Brand Activation
The transferable licence passing at nominal cost is the reason to take this space over a plain retail shell, because it removes the single longest lead item on any F&B led brand activation in Hong Kong. The kitchen area and three phase 200 AMP supply carry induction, chillers and a working espresso or cocktail station, and gas can be installed where a hot line is genuinely needed. Read our permit guide before you lock the transfer timeline.
Cocktail Reception and Evening Press Event
Licensed capacity of 170 plus an on-site kitchen and three toilets makes this one of the more operationally complete reception spaces at this size in Causeway Bay. In practice a comfortable standing reception with a bar, a product wall and a photo moment sits at 110 to 130 guests rather than the full licensed number. Sound and video equipment is already installed, so brands typically only bring in DJ playback and accent lighting rather than a full AV package.
Press Day and Media Preview
Daytime press days run well here because the basement level is closed off from street noise and gives you a controlled environment for rail walkthroughs and one to one editor briefings. Brands running press days in spaces like this typically set 30 to 40 looks on the existing garment racks, keep the stock room as an overflow and dressing area, and use the kitchen to run light catering in-house. Lift access matters for delivery of rails and crates on the morning of.
Sample Sale
A sample sale is one of the strongest uses here because the queue can form on a corner pavement rather than blocking a single narrow shopfront. Fitting rooms, counters and a stock room mean the back of house replenishment loop is already solved, and 98 sqm net comfortably absorbs 40 to 50 shoppers at a time with a managed door. Add mobile card terminals through our point of sale and payments setup to keep transaction times under a minute at peak.
Seasonal Showroom and Buyer Appointments
The 365 day minimum lease actually favours brands looking for a standing Hong Kong showroom rental rather than a one week fashion presentation. What makes this work for wholesale appointment days specifically is the separation between the front trading floor for rail display and the stock room for reference samples and packing. Plan for two buyer teams at once, four to six people each, with air conditioning and internet already in place for line sheet review and remote sign-off.
Product Launch
A launch lands here because you can trade, host and cater from the same footprint on the same day, which is rare at this size and price point. Typical build is a hero product plinth facing the frontage, the counters converted to a demonstration or sampling bar, and the kitchen supporting a small catered element after 6pm. The 200 AMP three phase supply carries screens, projection and set lighting simultaneously without hiring in a generator.
Influencer Event and Seeding Day
Causeway Bay is the highest yield district in Hong Kong for creator attendance, and this unit sits inside 150 metres of Apple, Emperor Cinemas and Eslite, so arrival is on foot and no car logistics are needed. Keep guest numbers to 60 or 70 in waves rather than one open call, because the basement level and single frontage make crowd flow the main constraint. Our influencer marketing team handles list building and slot scheduling.
Content Creation and Video Production Day
Being on the basement level with no natural daylight is an advantage for controlled content days, since every frame is lit to your specification with no time of day drift. The three phase 200 AMP supply runs a full HMI or LED package alongside air conditioning, and installed sound and video equipment covers playback and monitoring. Realistic crew size is 10 to 14 people with one build set at a time, plus the stock room for kit and wardrobe.
E-commerce and Editorial Shoot
This functions as a working content studio for volume e-commerce shoots because the garment racks, fitting rooms and stock room already cover wardrobe handling, which is usually the bottleneck on a 60 to 100 SKU day. One shooting bay plus a steaming and prep station fits inside the net area without compromise. Note the frontage gives you a usable street-facing editorial shoot backdrop, though on-street stills in Causeway Bay need permissions arranged in advance.
Workshop or Tasting Masterclass
The kitchen and licence combination makes hosted tasting or craft workshops viable here without any temporary catering permit workaround. Seated workshop formats run best at 30 to 40 participants using the existing furniture, with the counters acting as the demonstration front and the stock room holding materials out of sight. Three toilets and lift access mean you can run consecutive sessions across a day without turnaround problems between groups.

the neighbourhood
Beauty houses, Japanese and Korean lifestyle labels, sneaker and streetwear brands, and the local PR agencies that service them are the operators who actually work this pocket of Causeway Bay day to day. Walk the block between Leighton Road, Sun Wui Road and Percival Street and you pass independent nail and hair studios stacked above ground floor noodle shops, small importer showrooms tucked into walk up floors, and buying offices that quietly run wholesale appointments from unmarked doors. Lee Garden One and Two and Hysan Place sit a few minutes west and anchor the premium end, Fashion Walk on Kingston and Cleveland Street handles the younger label activity, and Jardine's Bazaar and Jardine's Crescent still carry the market energy that gives the district its texture. Uniqlo, Zara, Onitsuka Tiger, Carhartt, Apple and Emperor Cinemas all sit within 150 metres of this address, so the commercial density is real. When we help teams shortlist Asian activation sites and they browse all spaces, this is the Hong Kong catchment they keep returning to for consumer facing work.
Volume and local consumer reach are the honest reasons brands take Causeway Bay over Central or Tsim Sha Tsui. Central around Pedder Street, Duddell Street and the Landmark reads more corporate and more luxury, with higher rents and a weekday office rhythm that empties out on Sundays. Tsim Sha Tsui along Canton Road and into K11 Musea skews heavily toward mainland visitor retail and harbour tourism. Sheung Wan and PoHo give you gallery adjacency and lower rates but far thinner footfall. Causeway Bay sits between all of them with genuine seven day trading, a dense local and regional shopper base, and a one stop MTR ride to the Convention Centre in Wan Chai, which matters during CENTRESTAGE in September and Art Basel in March when press and buyers are already moving through this corridor. Press hotels cluster nearby at Park Lane, Lanson Place and Little Tai Hang. What it does not offer is quiet exclusivity or cheap square metres, and if you are comparing this against Tokyo or Seoul budgets, our city compare tool is the faster way to sanity check the numbers.
Arriving here for a press day means a short, busy walk rather than a car drop, and teams should plan for that. This corner runs on a restaurant clock: quiet until around eleven, then a hard lunch surge from the surrounding offices, a lull mid afternoon, and a long steady evening from six onward as cinema and dining traffic builds along Sun Wui Road and Lan Fong Road. The frontage is strong and the corner position gives you two sight lines, but the trading floor sits at basement level, so anything you want seen has to be pulled up to the pavement with signage, hosts or a physical build. In our experience placing brands in Causeway Bay, the basement format works best for ticketed dinners, cocktail receptions, seated buyer appointments and controlled evening launches where the descent becomes part of the reveal, and that transition is worth budgeting properly through production and build. Be clear on the limitation: this is not a space for spontaneous walk in retail or brands whose whole case rests on maximum street visibility.

frequently asked
Yes, this Causeway Bay corner unit is available for pop-up shops and is already fitted with the retail hardware most brands need on day one. The 1,750 sq ft gross floor (approximately 1,057 sq ft net) comes with counters, fitting rooms, garment racks, a stock room and a separate storage area, so you are not building a shell from scratch. Brands running temporary retail here typically use the double frontage for window graphics and the interior for a seated or service-led element, which is what makes the unit work harder than a standard shop lot. The listed minimum term is 365 days, but shorter pop-up windows are considered on request depending on the landlord position at the time you enquire.
