Taikoo Place seats many [[advertisement]] and [[information technology]] firms. The PCCW Tower, the tower just next to Dorset House is where the headquarter of [[PCCW]], a [[Hong Kong]]-based [[telecommunication]] company, seats. The local headquarter of [[IBM]] is also situated there, occupying the first 15 storeys. Ironically, more IT firms choose to have their Hong Kong base in Taikoo Place than in [[Cyberport]], which was particularly built for this purpose.


==Timeline==
The neighbourhood of Taikoo Place was once residential and industrial. When Taikoo Place was built, it resulted in a transformation of the region. Many pubs and restaurants was set up around the region. The part has become the [[Lan Kwai Fong]] of the [[Eastern District]], and known as "SOHO East".


Since the 1980s, Taikoo Place has been redeveloped to become a unique metropolitan environment for business and entertainment.<ref>{{cite news|title=It's hip to work in Quarry Bay, as foreign firms exodus Central|url=http://www.scmp.com/property/hong-kong-china/article/2094277/its-hip-work-quarry-bay-foreign-firms-exodus-central|accessdate=1 September 2017|issue=Sunday, 14 May 2017, 3:46pm|newspaper=South China Morning Post|date=14 May 2017}}</ref> Until now, notable amenities include the [[Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels|Butterfield's private members club]].

Taikoo Place hosts many [[advertisement]] and [[information technology]] firms. The PCCW Tower, the tower just next to Dorset House is where the headquarters of [[PCCW]] are located, a [[Hong Kong]]-based [[telecommunication]] company. The local headquarters of [[IBM]] and JWT is also situated there, occupying the first 15 storeys.

The neighbourhood of Taikoo Place used to be residential and industrial. Once Taikoo Place was built, the neighbourhood has been undergoing constant development and gentrification. Concerned about the urban development, [[Swire Properties]] has begun construction of serviced apartments north of Devon House, due for completion in 2015.<ref>{{cite web|title=Rising High in the City - Quarry Bay "Monster Building"|url=http://www.canon.com.hk/en/club/article/itemDetail.do?itemId=10442|website=Photography Hotspots|publisher=Canon Hong Kong|accessdate=1 September 2017}}</ref>

Taikoo Place (Chinese: 太古坊; Jyutping: taai3 gu2 fong1; pinyin: Tàigǔfāng) is a commercial building complex located in Quarry Bay, east Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong.[1] It comprises grade A office towers, car parking, clubs, office apartment, parks, and shops.[2][3] It is reachable by MTR Island line (MTR).[4] These three complexes are all managed by Swire Properties since the beginning from Taikoo Sugar Refinery, the subsequent Taikoo Dockyard and the recent demolitions of the industrial buildings.[5]

Timeline

[edit]

Since the 1980s, Taikoo Place has been redeveloped to become a unique metropolitan environment for business and entertainment.[6] Until now, notable amenities include the Butterfield's private members club. It is recognized as a popular choice for younger workers to seek employment.[7]

Taikoo Place hosts many advertisement and information technology firms. The PCCW Tower, the tower just next to Dorset House is where the headquarters of PCCW are located, a Hong Kong-based telecommunication company. The local headquarters of IBM and JWT is also situated there, occupying the first 15 storeys. Ironically, more IT firms choose to have their Hong Kong base in Taikoo Place rather than in Cyberport, which was specifically built for this purpose.[8][9]

The neighbourhood of Taikoo Place used to be residential and industrial. Once Taikoo Place was built, the neighbourhood has been undergoing constant development and gentrification. Concerned about the urban development, Swire Properties has begun construction of serviced apartments north of Devon House, due for completion in 2015.[10]

One Taikoo Place has 48 storeys, including 41 floors of triple Grade-A office space. It has an average floor size of 21,000 sq ft and a gross floor area of 1 million sq ft. Designed by Wong & Ouyang (HK) Ltd, the tower features 3-metre-wide curtain wall window panels, with each floor designed to provide an abundance of natural light and offer panoramic views of Victoria Harbour. The office tower has been built to the highest sustainability standards by Arup, achieving Pre-certified Platinum for LEED BD+C: Core and Shell Version 2009, and Provisional Platinum for BEAM Plus New Buildings Version 1.2 green building standards. The Building is also recognized as the first AI & Data-driven Building in Hong Kong by implementing Arup Neuron Digital Platform to optimize all the operation data inside the building.

Former Buildings

[edit]

Warwick House (1979) (demolition)

[edit]

Kang and Mansion and the domain building composed of 2B site, will be reconstructed into a 42-storey 3-storey library of commercial buildings, called Taikoo Square two Two Taikoo Place, as well as a 69,000 square foot garden square, Taikoo Square and Taikoo Garden. The gross floor of the commercial building is about 983,000 square feet and is expected to be completed in 2021.

  • Cornwall House (1984) (Demolition): Multi-purpose Art Venue ArtisTree is located on the first floor of this building [4].

Somerset House (1988)

[edit]
  • It has been demolished and will be rebuilt into a 48-storey Grade 1 building with a Grade 1 storey building called One Taikoo Place with a gross floor area of approximately 102.1 10,000 square feet, is expected to be transferred in 2018. [5]

Future Buildings

[edit]

Swire Properties announced HKD$15 billion will be spent on redeveloping the Taikoo Park (i.e. Via Fiori), Taikoo Place Phase 1 (completed in September 2018) and Phase 2 (Complete in 2021).[28][29] Architects and design firms including Gustafson Porter and Wong & Ouyang (HK) Ltd.[30] Hugh Sutton Associates will be in charge of the new elevated walkway system.[31]

Recreation, Parks, and energy-saving initiatives

[edit]

Taikoo Place is next to Taikoo Park and Quarry Bay Park. An extra 69,000 square feet of open landscaped gardens will be provided in the coming years.[32]

Besides, biodiesel tri-generation and adsorption chiller energy was adopted in order to save up to 2% of building energy, methods include increasing both the efficiency of electricity and space cooling by chilled water. This reduces the greenhouse effect within the office complex.

The rooftop is planted so that 75% of demolition waste is then diverted from landfills.[33]

Events and exhibitions

[edit]

Cornwall House provides 10,000 square feet of area for business events.[34] Topics includes Gender equality and GPS navigation software.[35] A forum called "blueprint Labs" for start-up is introduced in 2016.

Paintings and Sculptures

[edit]

External charters and membership provide awards that encourage designers to present their artwork. About 300 personnel outside the company, including NGOs such as Hong Kong Blind Union, Chung Ying Theatre, and Hong Kong Youth Arts Foundation will also attend those 100 briefing on feedbacks from their staff.[36]

Leisure and Entertainments

[edit]

The Taikoo Place is next to Cityplaza, a grade A shopping mall with ice skating rink, cinema and five-star hotel EAST, Hong Kong. The theme of the complex is to "Live Happy".[37]

Transportations

[edit]

Mass Transit Railway is seen as a catalyst in speeding up the movement of the working class.[38]

Drop off areas is available in the entrance of One Island East, Devon House, Oxford House and Tong Chong Street.[39] Island Eastern Corridor and Eastern Harbour Crossing also connects Taikoo Place with East Kowloon, Central, Hong Kong and Hong Kong International Airport.
