Landmark is a commercial complex owned by Hongkong Land in Central,Hong Kong. It consists of three office towers:Gloucester Tower,Edinburgh Tower and York House. Its retail podium,Landmark Atrium,forms the core component of the LANDMARK shopping mall.
The Landmark Mandarin Oriental Hotel is in the lower floors of Edinburgh Tower,directly linked to the retail floors of Landmark Atrium.
It is partly built on the site of the former Hong Kong Hotel,which was in its day the best known hotel on Hong Kong Island.[ citation needed ] In the 1970s,Hongkong Land started the development of the Landmark under its Central Redevelopment Scheme. The first phase of the project was completed in the late 1970s and the whole project was completed in 1983.
When the development was completed in 1983,the development consisted of a series of levels of shops surrounding a large central atrium with two office towers on top,known as Edinburgh Tower and Gloucester Tower respectively,and an annex building,known as the Landmark East.
In 2003,Part of Edinburgh Tower was converted into The Landmark Mandarin Oriental Hotel,a boutique hotel.
In 2002,Hongkong Land announced a 1 billion dollar plan - The Landmark Scheme - to renovate The Landmark. The whole scheme included extending the existing shopping atrium to 3/F and 4/F of the building,introducing a department store Harvey Nichols and a hotel The Landmark Mandarin Oriental Hotel,and the redevelopment of The Landmark East into a new 14-floor office tower named York House. The scheme was completed in October 2006 with the opening of York House. To expand and upgrade the Landmark's retail offerings,architects Aedas and Kohn Pedersen Fox carved out areas in the existing retail atrium for several two-story flagship stores and added two new retail floors. A wall of folded glass panels envelopes the retail podium. [1]
