How much does it cost to rent this Causeway Bay retail unit?

The indicative day rate is HK$3,199.99, roughly EUR 355 per day for the 300 sqft unit. Because the landlord holds a twelve month minimum, that figure is best read as a benchmark for comparing this address against other Hong Kong retail rather than as a short-term rental price you would pay for a week. Final numbers depend on your term length, deposit structure and whether you take the unit as fitted or want changes to the frontage and lighting, so we work to brief-based pricing once we understand the plan. Model the full year against your projected sell-through with our budget calculator

What is the minimum rental term?

The minimum is 365 days, so this unit is a twelve month commitment rather than a weekend hire. In our experience handling bookings at Causeway Bay mall addresses, landlords on annual terms move deliberately on documentation and expect company registration details plus a substantial deposit before handover, which is why we advise opening the conversation six to nine months ahead of your target trading date. There is no stated maximum term, so if the unit performs you can discuss extension rather than relocating. Brands that want Hong Kong presence without a year on the books should ask us for alternative formats when they rent.

How big is the unit and how many people can it hold?

The unit is 28 sqm, or 300 sqft, with a working occupancy estimate of around 30 people. That footprint comfortably carries a tight edit of roughly 40 to 120 SKUs across the installed garment racks and counters, with one or two staff running full mall trading hours. For a press day or collection preview you would plan for staggered arrivals rather than a single crowd, since 30 people in 300 sqft reads as busy. If you need to host larger buyer groups or a full ready-to-wear presentation, request availability for a bigger floorplate and we will shortlist accordingly.

Is the space move-in ready or will I need a fit-out?

It is effectively move-in ready for retail, with counters, fitting rooms, garment racks, lighting, furniture, a stock room, air conditioning, heating, electricity, internet and a security system already in place. That fixture completeness is the commercial argument for this address, because you avoid paying for a bare shell and then paying again to build it out. Most brands still layer on a branded identity through frontage graphics, vinyl, plinths and lighting temperature, which is where our branded store design

Does the space have natural light?

No, this is a basement mall unit, so all illumination comes from the installed lighting rig. That pushes the visual work onto frontage treatment and controlled artificial light, and it means a daylight-dependent gallery concept will not translate here. Brands we place in basement retail in Hong Kong usually specify warmer accent lighting on product and cooler wash on graphics, which reads well in the mall corridor and photographs cleanly for social. If your product is fragrance, jewellery, eyewear, footwear or accessories, the absence of daylight is an advantage rather than a compromise, and lighting adjustments can be quoted on request.

Where exactly is the unit and how do customers get there?

The unit sits in a basement mall position in the heart of Causeway Bay, two minutes on foot from the MTR exit and within the Times Square and Russell Street shopping corridor. Lee Theatre is around 65 metres away, Leighton Road about 90 metres and Lee Garden One roughly 155 metres, so your neighbours are established Hong Kong retail rather than fringe stock. Tram and bus stops at Leighton Road and Foo Ming Street are both a two-minute walk, with Percival Street and Canal Road West three minutes out. That access profile delivers commuter and shopper footfall in continuous waves through the afternoon and evening, which is exactly what a temporary retail unit needs, so enquire early if you want a specific handover month.

Can I use it as a fashion showroom for wholesale appointments and sample sales?

Yes, the unit works as a compact fashion showroom for wholesale appointments, buyer previews and sample sales alongside its retail function. The fitting rooms let buyers see fit on body, the stock room keeps back-of-house separate from the selling floor, and the kitchen and elevator make hosting regional buyers and editors practical rather than awkward. For a sample sale the constraint is throughput rather than floor area, so we usually recommend appointment blocks and additional floor staff for the opening days. Brands using this address as a dual retail and showroom base typically find the Causeway Bay location shortens travel time for Hong Kong and mainland buyers, which is a real factor when you hire space for appointment season.

Is the space suitable for shoots and content capture?

Yes, sound and video equipment is installed and the controlled basement lighting makes the unit a workable content studio between trading hours. Brands typically shoot product and social content in the morning before mall opening, then trade the rest of the day, which removes the cost of a separate studio rental. The 300 sqft footprint suits still life, product detail and single-model capture rather than wide set builds or movement work. Confirm your intended shoot windows with us at enquiry stage so we can clear them with mall management before you book.

What are the loading, lift and parking arrangements?

There is elevator access to the basement level and parking on site, so deliveries and stock replenishment do not depend on kerbside loading in Causeway Bay traffic. As with most basement mall units in Hong Kong, goods movement runs through the centre's service route and is restricted to defined windows, typically outside peak trading hours. In our experience handling installs at addresses like this, the practical planning point is that fit-out and heavy delivery happen overnight or early morning, so your build schedule must be written against those windows rather than around them. We confirm the exact service access times, lift dimensions and dock rules in writing before you sign, and the elevator also supports step-free customer access.

What permits and paperwork do I need to trade here?

For a unit like this you are principally dealing with a Hong Kong tenancy or licence to occupy from the landlord, business registration for the trading entity, and mall management approval for signage, fit-out and any food or sampling element. Hong Kong does not require the sort of temporary retail permit that Paris or Milan brands may be used to, but mall houses rules on frontage graphics, opening hours and noise are enforced strictly and function much like a permit regime in practice. Our permit guide

Can I brand the frontage and change the signage?

Yes, frontage branding is normally permitted and it matters more here than in most units, because a basement mall position wins attention through its shopfront rather than through street visibility. Mall management will review your artwork, materials, illumination levels and installation method before anything goes up, and approval usually needs two to four weeks depending on complexity. What we manage on your behalf at this address specifically is the artwork submission, the compliance amendments and the overnight install slot, so your team is not negotiating that from another timezone. Vinyl, light boxes, window graphics and modular plinths are all achievable, and pricing for the package is quoted on request.

Can you provide staff to run the unit?

Yes, we place vetted Cantonese, Mandarin and English speaking retail teams into Hong Kong units, and a 300 sqft floor with counters and fitting rooms usually runs on one to two people per shift. For a twelve month term we typically build a small core team with relief cover for peak weekends and holiday trading, since Causeway Bay footfall spikes hard on Saturdays and around public holidays. Training covers your product story, sell-through reporting and clienteling, and our retail staffing

What does Fashion Week Venues handle on my behalf for this booking?

We handle the full path from shortlist to trading day at this Causeway Bay address, with concierge included as standard. That covers landlord negotiation on the twelve month term and deposit, tenancy documentation review, mall management approvals for signage and fit-out, service lift and overnight build scheduling, frontage and interior design, furniture and fixture additions, point of sale setup, staffing and weekly sell-through reporting. Because the unit already has counters, fitting rooms, a stock room, internet, air conditioning and a security system, our workload here weights towards approvals and brand identity rather than base build. You keep one account contact through the whole term, so you are not managing a landlord, a mall office and three suppliers in a different timezone.

How do I enquire and what happens next?

Send an enquiry on this listing with your target handover month, product category, SKU count and budget range, and you will get a reply within 24h. We then confirm current landlord terms, deposit requirement and any mall trading conditions, and come back with a costed plan covering rent, fit-out, staffing and reporting for the twelve months. If the terms work you sign the tenancy with the landlord and a separate service agreement with us, with nothing payable to Fashion Week Venues until the booking is confirmed.

Included on-site: Internet, Air Conditioning, Security System, Stock Room, Counters, Fitting Rooms, Garment Rack, Lighting.

about this space

This small retail unit is situated in a prominent location within Causeway Bay, just a two-minute walk from the MTR exit, ensuring excellent exposure for your business. The space includes a variety of amenities, such as 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, providing a well-equipped environment for your operations.

the fwv take

Take this Causeway Bay unit as a market-entry temporary retail base or brand-operated pop-up concept that trades daily for a full year, not as a fashion week venue, because the 365 day minimum term sits alongside counters, fitting rooms, garment racks and a stock room that are already installed and ready to sell from handover week.

What makes this address work for sustained retail is the basement mall position two minutes on foot from the MTR exit inside the Times Square and Russell Street corridor, which feeds commuter and shopper traffic past the shopfront in continuous waves through the afternoon and evening, though with no daylight at this level the entire visual argument has to be carried by frontage graphics and a properly specified lighting rig, which is where our branded store design team spends its budget in units of this size.

The fit is a three to seven year old contemporary label, accessories house, footwear, eyewear, jewellery or fragrance brand running a tight edit of 40 to 120 SKUs at mid-market to upper contemporary pricing, and we would say plainly that 28 sqm will not carry a luxury maison presentation or a full ready-to-wear collection without looking thin.

Open the conversation six to nine months ahead of your target trading date, since Hong Kong landlords on annual terms move deliberately on documentation and want company registration plus a substantial deposit before keys, and budget two to four weeks for mall management sign-off on frontage artwork with heavy delivery and fit-out confined to overnight service windows, so use the activation timeline to write your build schedule against those slots rather than around them.

activation ideas

Long-Run Pop-Up Store

This is the strongest use of the unit, because counters, fitting rooms, garment racks, a stock room and a security system are already installed and you can trade from handover week. At 28 sqm the floor carries a tight edit of 40 to 120 SKUs with one or two staff on full mall hours, and the two-minute walk from the MTR exit replaces the street frontage a basement position lacks. Read the 365 day minimum as market entry temporary retail, not a short window activation.

SS/AW Seasonal Showroom

The unit works as a compact seasonal showroom because the installed garment racks and fitting rooms handle hanging and fit checks without any additional build. Brands running an SS or AW showroom in a footprint this size typically hang one full season on the perimeter racks and use the stock room for the previous delivery, keeping the selling floor clear for one buyer group at a time. Adding rail extensions, a table and seating through furniture rental converts it in a single overnight slot.

Buyer Appointments and Wholesale Previews

Credible for appointment season, mainly because the Causeway Bay address cuts travel time for Hong Kong and mainland buyers and the fitting rooms let them see fit on body rather than on a hanger. In practice the stock room keeps back-of-house samples out of sight while one buyer works the rail, so plan 45 minute slots for one or two people rather than concurrent appointments. The elevator and on-site parking make sample trunk delivery straightforward outside peak trading hours.

Sample Sale

Workable as a sample sale space, with throughput rather than floor area as the governing constraint at 300 sqft and a 30 person working occupancy. Brands we place in units this size run timed entry blocks, add two floor staff for the opening weekend, and use the stock room as the replenishment buffer so the racks never look picked over. Queue management sits in the mall corridor, so agree that with centre management in advance and set up point of sale and payments for fast multi-item transactions.

Press Day and Media Preview

Adequate as a press day venue provided you stagger arrivals, since 30 people in 28 sqm reads as crowded rather than considered. What makes this work for a media preview specifically is the MTR proximity and the Times Square corridor address, both of which lift attendance rates for Hong Kong editors. Plan two hour windows of six to eight guests, use the counters as the product display line, and run refreshments from the kitchen so the selling floor stays clear.

Product Launch

Suits a single product or capsule launch rather than a full collection reveal, because the controlled basement lighting lets you build the entire visual focus around one hero display on the counters. Fragrance, eyewear, jewellery, footwear and accessories launches work particularly well here since no daylight is an advantage for lighting small product. Frontage graphics carry the announcement to mall traffic, and mall management review of artwork typically takes two to four weeks, so lock creative early.

Brand Activation and Retail Experience

Strong for a brand activation because the unit already reads as a shop, so budget goes into the experience layer rather than base build. Sound and video equipment is installed for screen content or audio branding, and the fitted lighting rig can be re-specified with warm accent on product and cooler wash on graphics. With 30 people maximum, design the concept around short dwell interactions for passing shoppers rather than a seated or hosted format.

E-commerce and Content Shoot Day

Genuinely useful as an in-house content studio between trading hours, since the basement position gives fully controlled light with no daylight shift to fight across the day. Teams typically shoot product, flat lay and single-model e-commerce and editorial frames in the morning before mall opening, then trade from midday, which removes a separate studio rental from the budget. The 28 sqm footprint suits still life and detail capture rather than wide set builds or movement work.

Influencer Event

Works for an intimate creator session of 10 to 15 guests, not a large influencer party, and the fitting rooms are the operational advantage because creators can change and shoot on site. Brands running these in small Hong Kong retail units book two rotating groups across an evening, use the counters as a styling and gifting station, and run catering prep from the kitchen. Pairing the event with influencer marketing support keeps content output proportionate to the guest count.

frequently asked

Yes, this 28 sqm Causeway Bay unit is available for pop-up shops, and a brand-operated pop-up is arguably its strongest use given that counters, fitting rooms, garment racks and a stock room are already installed. The difference from most pop-up listings is the term: the landlord works on a 365 day minimum, so this is a long-run temporary retail space or market-entry pop-up rather than a five day activation. Brands running this format in a basement mall position in Hong Kong typically find the two-minute walk from the MTR exit does the acquisition work that street frontage would otherwise have to do. If your brief is a short window tied to a fashion week schedule, tell us at enquiry stage and we will route you to shorter-term stock instead.

who it suits

Brand Scale

This 28 sqm unit suits a brand with a 5 to 30 person team, three or more years of trading, and either an existing Asia distribution partner or a serious plan to build one, because the twelve month minimum lease turns this into a market entry decision rather than a short activation. At 300 sqft with a stock room, counters and fitting rooms already fitted, one or two staff can run full retail hours without extra build. In our experience the profile that gets the most from this space is a mid-sized label testing Hong Kong demand before committing to a flagship. Brands with a five day fashion week window, and large houses needing 150 sqm plus for full collection merchandising, should look elsewhere.

Aesthetic Fit

Compact, high-density visual identities work here: accessories, footwear, eyewear, jewellery, fragrance, streetwear and contemporary womenswear where a tight edit of 40 to 120 SKUs reads as curation rather than shortage. The existing counters, garment racks and lighting support a clean commercial fit-out, and the basement mall position rewards strong frontage graphics and controlled artificial light, which our branded store design team treats as the primary lever in units of this footprint. What does not work is a daylight-dependent minimalist gallery concept, oversized furniture led installations, or heavy sculptural set builds, because there is no natural light and no floor area to give a large centrepiece the breathing room it needs.

Best Use Cases

First choice is a long-run temporary retail space or brand-operated pop-up shop, since the fitting rooms, stock room, security system and counters mean it trades from day one. Second is a permanent-feel retail experience for market entry, supported by MTR proximity at two minutes and the Times Square and Russell Street shopping corridor. Third is a fashion showroom and wholesale appointment base, with the kitchen and elevator making buyer hosting workable. Fourth is a press day venue and collection preview space for regional editors. Fifth is a content studio using the installed sound and video equipment. Sixth is a sample sale, where retail staffing matters more than square metres.

Budget Signal

This sits in the mid tier for Causeway Bay retail, below street-level Russell Street frontage and below Central luxury mall units, but above suburban Hong Kong retail and above shared pop-up formats in Sheung Wan or Sai Ying Pun. The value here is fixture completeness and footfall access rather than raw floor area: a brand pays for a fully amenitied unit near one of the busiest MTR interchanges instead of paying twice for a bare shell plus fit-out. Compared with hotel event rooms billed nightly or co-working showrooms with no fitting rooms or stock capacity, the annual commitment lowers the effective daily cost significantly. Model it against your sell-through target using the ROI estimator before enquiring.
