Central Yards is more than a place, it’s the vibrant new heartbeat of Hong Kong.
The boldest reimagination Hong Kong has ever seen — a renewal of the iconic Central Harbourfront as a new urban district where business, leisure, and culture converge.
It’s not just steel and glass, but a space that inspires and gives back.
It radiates on the waterfront and pulses with energy from within,
sending ripples across the globe.
Imagine a landscraper, a marvel turned sideways, where the treasures of life – nature, culture, and joy – ripple from its centre. Central Yards turns Hong Kong’s vertical glass hall into the world’s stage. More than just a place; it’s a gift for generations to come. Born from a deep love for Hong Kong, this is a masterpiece that gives back to the city that shaped it.
An Orchestrated Masterpiece, Where Creativity Ripples.
Behind the story of Central Yards lies a singular vision that quietly guides the ripples in perfect harmony. A world-class ensemble of creatives comes together to redefine Hong Kong’s future.
Central Yards is defined by its unprecedented scale, with more than 300,000 square feet of interconnected open green space, and by its commitment to people centred, biophilic urban design.
At its heart is Central’s largest sky garden crafted for people and urban biodiversity — an approximate 300 meter-long elevated landscape of over 160,000 square feet with more than 400 trees and 280 plant species that offers a lush, immersive experience above the city and creates vibrant habitats for people, birds and butterflies.
Advanced design innovations optimise Central’s microclimate and air quality, notably “Urban Windows” that channel fresh air and daylight through the development to invite all walks of life into an urban oasis where nature and city life coexist. A sea water cooling system reduces energy use and carbon emissions and provides efficient, low carbon thermal comfort throughout the year.
Central Yards sets a new benchmark for ESG excellence and sustainable urban development, introducing one of Hong Kong’s most comprehensive suites of green and smart design innovations, including advanced energy storage systems powered by space‑grade batteries, and smart façades with eco‑adaptive dynamic windows to optimise natural light and thermal comfort throughout the day.
The development has secured or registered for nine of the world’s most respected green and smart building certifications — with additional accreditations in progress. These include BEAM Plus for New Buildings and New Neighbourhoods, as well as LEED, WELL, SITES, CGBL, CHBL, SmartScore and WiredScore, reflecting a holistic approach that advances energy efficiency, wellness, ecology, digital readiness and long‑term resilience.
