F&B/Retail Space for Lease in Soho.
about this space
This Food and Beverage/Retail space offers a prime location in the Soho area, situated within a well-known residential building at the intersection with Tai Ping Shan. The space spans 1,380 square feet and can be combined with two additional units for a total area of 9,910 square feet, including a terrace. The unit is surrounded by a variety of restaurants and bars, enhancing its appeal as a vibrant commercial location. Amenities include internet access, air conditioning, a security system, a stock room, counters, fitting rooms, garment racks, lighting, furniture, sound and video equipment, electricity, heating, parking, an elevator, and a kitchen.
the fwv take
Treat this Soho address as a long-run concept store or hybrid retail and F&B flagship rather than a short-term commercial space, because the 365 day minimum term paired with an already fitted kitchen, stock room, counters and fitting rooms is configured for continuous trading instead of a two-week fashion week venue booking.
The feature that does the real work is scalability at a fixed address: the 1,380 sqft basement unit can be joined to two neighbouring units for 9,910 sqft including a terrace, which means a brand can trade small on the Tai Ping Shan corner and later expand into a multi-room retail experience with outdoor programming space without renegotiating a new lease or rebuilding a frontage.
In our experience the right occupant is a design-led independent fashion, accessories or lifestyle label at least three years into trading, with a material-forward identity in concrete, raw timber or gallery white, and we would be honest that this favours mid-scale contemporary names over heritage maisons, who will always want street level visibility and daylight that a basement floor plate cannot supply for leather goods or fine jewellery.
Hong Kong operational note: plan four to six months from first enquiry to opening because basement change of use, licensing and ventilation sign-off move slowly here, the adjacent terrace-facing units are always claimed first so raise the combined footprint in your opening conversation, and if your concept needs a fitted interior fast our branded store design team can compress the build while the budget calculator tells you whether a twelve month amortisation actually works.

who it suits
Brand Scale
This space fits a brand with a 10 to 40 person team, 3 or more years of trading, and enough Asia-Pacific revenue to justify a year-long commitment rather than a two-week test. The 365 day minimum lease is the qualifier that matters most here: at 1,380 sqft across a basement level in Soho, this is a standing retail base or regional flagship, not a fashion week venue booked for a season. Brands at this stage typically find the option to expand into the adjacent units for a combined 9,910 sqft with terrace is what makes the deal worth signing, because it allows a phased rollout from single store to multi-unit concept without relocating. Where we see mismatches is when a DTC label with no Hong Kong entity, no local staffing, and a single-city customer base treats this as a short-term commercial space. If you need four to eight weeks for a collection preview or a press day venue, this is the wrong structure and you should browse all spaces for shorter commitments instead.
Aesthetic Fit
Design-led independent fashion, lifestyle, and accessories brands with a raw or material-forward visual identity work best in this shell. A basement level in the Tai Ping Shan and PMQ corridor reads as intentional for concrete, dark timber, gallery-white, or industrial-utility interiors, and the existing counters, garment racks, fitting rooms, and lighting rig mean a fitted retail experience can be layered in rather than built from nothing. The on-site kitchen also supports a hybrid café and retail concept, which suits brands whose identity extends into food, ceramics, homeware, or community programming. What does not work is heritage luxury requiring street-level frontage visibility and natural daylight for leather goods or jewellery presentation, or a high-gloss mass-market fit-out that fights the neighbourhood's low-rise, craft-orientated character. If your concept needs a specific spatial language executed properly, our branded store design team will tell you early whether a basement footprint carries it.
Best Use Cases
First choice is a permanent or year-round concept store, because the lease term, fitting rooms, stock room, security system, and counters are already configured for continuous trading. Second is a hybrid retail and F&B concept, given the kitchen and the surrounding density of Soho bars and restaurants including Coa and Kau Kee within 100 metres. Third is a fashion showroom and wholesale appointment base for a brand building Greater China distribution, with the elevator and parking easing sample movement. Fourth is a temporary retail space or pop-up shop staged inside a longer lease, using the expandable 9,910 sqft footprint to rotate seasonal takeovers. Fifth is a content studio and brand presentation space, supported by the sound and video equipment, lighting, and air conditioning. Sixth is a sample sale space, where basement positioning is an advantage for queue management.
Budget Signal
This sits in the mid tier for Soho and Sheung Wan, materially below street-level Hollywood Road or Central prime frontage on a per square foot basis, and priced as a working retail lease rather than an event rate. What you are buying is fitted infrastructure and duration: garment racks, counters, fitting rooms, stock room, kitchen, AV, heating, air conditioning, parking, and lift access, all included, which removes most of the capital expenditure a bare shell in this district would demand. Compared with hotel event spaces or co-working venues in Central, the cost per trading day is far lower, though those alternatives allow short bookings this one does not. Compared with shared pop-up formats, you gain full brand control and a fixed address. In our experience the profile that gets the most from this space is a brand amortising fit-out across twelve months or more, and the budget calculator is the fastest way to test that against your Asia-Pacific revenue forecast.
