Airport Authority Hong Kong has awarded Roxy Limited the right to design, develop and manage the SkyCity project at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA).
It will be the largest integrated retail, dining and entertainment development in the colony.
Roxy is a wholly owned subsidiary of New World Development Company, while the project itself is regarded as a crucial part of the overall long-term development of HKIA. The award follows an open tender exercise that attracted bids from local and international developers and retail companies.
Next to HKIA’s passenger terminals, the development is scheduled to open in phases from 2023 to 2027. It will have a maximum gross floor area of 350,000sqm, with retail, dining and entertainment for visitors and local residents of all ages.
SkyCity covers about 25ha at the airport, which served 72.9 million passengers in the past year. Passenger traffic is projected to rise to more than 100 million by 2030 with the completion of a three-runway system.
SkyCity will also tap into the potential of the Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok Link and Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, embracing the Pearl River Delta.
