    The Twins: A Landmark in Kowloon East

    Introducing “The Twins”, a dynamic duo of twin towers nestled in the heart of Kowloon East. Soaring above Kai Tak, the towering design reflects the area’s youthful energy, diversity, and modernity. While each tower blossoms with its unique charm, they bring together a rich variety of shopping, art, cultural exploration and entertainment experiences, offering infinite inspiration for everyday life like no other. This iconic project is backed by a substantial investment exceeding HK$10 billion and aiming to include more than 700 stores. “The Twins” stands as a vibrant landmark showcasing our brand philosophy, and is poised to shape the future of Hong Kong's retail landscape.

    Tower I is the home of the new SOGO, a Japanese department store that celebrates the blend of tradition, elegance, and femininity. Upholding our "customer-first" corporate philosophy, we will continue to provide an exceptional “one-stop shopping” experience. It is set to feature approximately 120 beauty brands, along with facial treatment rooms, a perfume area, and promotional event spaces.
