Lee Gardens has been shaped by Hysan’s century-old placemaking philosophy, evolving over generations into one of Hong Kong’s most distinctive urban destinations. Located in the heart of Causeway Bay, the precinct is often described as the “Soul of Hong Kong” for its unique blend of work, living, leisure and entertainment. Guided by Hysan’s long-term vision and Community Business Model, Lee Gardens continues to evolve in response to changing urban and community needs, with a focus on creating a people-centric, sustainable and inclusive environment – “a place for all”.
As the major landholder and a long-standing contributor to the district’s development, Hysan has continued to curate the precinct through a holistic rejuvenation strategy that balances commercial vitality with community well-being. The Lee Gardens Rejuvenation project represents the latest chapter of this ongoing vision, enhancing connectivity, accessibility, greenery and public realm experiences across the district while reinforcing the area’s distinctive character and heritage.
Now entering a large-scale harvest phase, the rejuvenation encompasses integrated public realm enhancements, revitalised mixed-use developments, green open spaces and an expanded all-weather pedestrian walkway network that improves movement and connectivity throughout the precinct. Alterations and renovations across buildings of different ages, including Lee Garden One, Two, Three, Five, Six and Hysan Place, further contribute to a more cohesive and vibrant urban environment designed to support visitors, workers and the wider community year-round.
Within this broader transformation, Lee Garden Eight serves as a key component of the Lee Gardens Rejuvenation vision. The development introduces 85,000m2 of office space and 10,000m2 of retail space, alongside 6,000m2 lifestyle park, a defining feature of the site, which covers 45% of the development site area and is centred around an approximately 80-year-old banyan tree, designed to encourage interaction, relaxation and community engagement. The landscaped setting, including Banyan Plaza and a series of green terraces, creates a welcoming public realm that integrates nature into the urban experience across multiple levels.
Lee Garden Eight also strengthens the precinct’s pedestrian experience through improved connectivity and seamless integration with the wider all-weather walkway system. Shaded walkways, accessible circulation routes and enhanced vertical connections improve ease of movement throughout the district while supporting a more comfortable and walkable urban environment. Complementing its commercial and public realm offerings, the development incorporates a performing arts and cultural hall that supports creative exchange, urban arts and community participation. The venue provides opportunities for cultural programming and public engagement, reinforcing Lee Gardens’ role as a dynamic destination that brings together business, lifestyle and culture within an integrated precinct.
The Lee Gardens Rejuvenation project demonstrates Hysan’s enduring commitment to placemaking and long-term urban stewardship. Beyond individual asset enhancements, the value of the rejuvenation lies in its holistic approach to shaping a distinctive, sustainable and people-centric precinct in Causeway Bay.
Through continuous curation and investment, Hysan continues to strengthen Lee Gardens as an evolving urban destination that serves the needs of the community today while preparing for the future, while preserving its unique identity for generations to come in a rapidly changing city.
