World Trade Centre
The World Trade Centre was the name of one of the portfolio of buildings owned in Hong Kong by Jardines through its property development arm, Hongkong Land, and is also connected via passageway to its neighbor, The Excelsior It has since been sold to Sun Hung Kai Properties. It is situated on land owned by Jardines since the early days of Hong Kong as a British Crown Colony at East Point in the area now known as Causeway Bay, where Jardines had their original godowns and offices.
Located at 280 Gloucester Road, World Trade Centre was built in the 1970s. Although it originally housed the nightclub Palace Theatre, it was later remodeled to be Hong Kong’s most luxurious cinema of the same name. The food and beverage corporation Maxim also established a restaurant branch in the building, and garnered relative fame at the time.
In the 1990s, the World Trade Centre was sold to Sun Hung Kai Properties and was remodeled again to its present form, with the lower floors as a mall and the upper floors remaining as office space.
