Sun Hung Kai Properties opened Metroplaza in January 1993 directly opposite Kwai Fong MTR station, pairing a roughly 500,000 sqft retail podium spanning the ground to fifth floors with two 36-storey office towers above that remain among the tallest buildings in the Kwai Fong area. The property underwent a major renovation between 2014 and November 2017, and has since earned a BEAM Plus Existing Buildings “Good” rating for energy and environmental management.
Uniqlo, Muji and G2000 anchor the fashion and lifestyle floor, with Fortress running electronics and a dense beauty cluster, including innisfree, Kiehl’s, FANCL and a Shiseido specialty counter, occupying a full level. Adidas, Columbia and Skechers carry the sports floor, while MaBelle and a cluster of local jewellers round out the accessories tier.
Metroplaza functions as the shopping hub for a wider catchment than Kwai Fong alone, drawing from neighboring Lai King, Tsing Yi and Kwai Chung, competing directly with the adjoining, smaller-format Kwai Chung Plaza next door, which leans toward independent shops rather than Metroplaza’s more corporate retail mix. The Kwai Tsing Theatre sits immediately adjacent.
Sun Hung Kai has treated Metroplaza as a long-hold, incrementally-upgraded asset rather than a one-time development: the 2014-2017 renovation and the subsequent BEAM Plus certification reflect the same pattern the developer has applied across its other 1990s-era Kwai Tsing and New Territories retail properties, extending an asset’s competitive life through periodic reinvestment rather than redevelopment or disposal.
