This HK$116 million enhancement project has repositioned the plaza as a leisure and shopping destination for people in Kowloon City. Through a comprehensive enhancement of the facilities in the shopping centre, car park and market – which included enriching the trade mix, building a large-scale bowling centre, and introducing a European-style fresh market – we hope the brand new shopping environment and facilities can bring a fresh look and customer centric shopping experience to the local community. Furthermore, it will at the same time create an improved business environment to our tenants. With such, I wish them all good fortune in the Year of Snake!”
