Neighbourhood Features
Located in the Eastern District of Hong Kong Island, Quarry Bay has long been known as a hub for office buildings. However, with the increase in population, several residential developments have been added.
The area has implemented urban renewal projects, allowing developers to apply for the conversion of the original commercial buildings along the waterfront and King's Road into residential and retail spaces, further boosting the residential property market.
As the community's amenities gradually mature, it not only provides Grade A office spaces but also houses large shopping malls such as Kornhill Plaza and Taikoo Place. In terms of transportation, Quarry Bay serves as a stop for both the Island Line and the Tseung Kwan O Line and is also the entrance and exit point for the Eastern Harbour Crossing, making it a crucial transportation hub in the Eastern part of Hong Kong Island.
One of the famous landmarks in Quarry Bay is the Yick Cheong Building and Montane Mansion, also known as the Monster Buildings, named for their densely stacked units, which has become a distinctive feature of the area. Additionally, the area features Quarry Bay Park, offering a wealth of recreational amenities, including cycling paths, various sports courts, and playgrounds, catering to residents' entertainment needs.
