New Working Community: Working Space

sketchfab

From traditional office building to thriving commercial hub, Kowloon east is poised to draw numerous businesses of all sizes due to high rents, scarce space availability, and lack of business diversity in the aging downtown area. A thriving business district demands both high-rise offices and a diverse array of commercial amenities to succeed. These often include luxury hotels, upscale restaurants, retail spaces, and banking services that collectively enable commercial growth. However, these high-end developments predominantly cater to a select group of well-compensated professionals. We propose a spectrum of affordable retail businesses that cater to the workforce in Kowloon East, providing them with budget-friendly choices. Transferring industrial buildings into multi-functional structures can be a strategy for creating a lively community in the new downtown area.
