Located in the Central District of Hong Kong, Three Garden Road, Central is positioned within the traditional financial hub of Hong Kong and the headquarter buildings of all three of Hong Kong’s currency issuing banks are in close vicinity.
The property offers office space with a lettable floor area of more than 1.22 million square feet, approximately 42,500 square feet of retail space, as well as a three level basement car park capable of accommodating 558 vehicles.

Completed in 1992 by the Great Eagle Group, it was one of the first office buildings in Hong Kong to incorporate intelligent building and environmentally friendly features. The property designed by renowned Hong Kong architect Rocco Yim, garnered the Hong Kong Institute of Architects' highest award, the Silver Medal, in 1995 in recognition of its architectural design excellence.
In 2007 and 2013, the property was acquired by Champion REIT.
