Hong Kong Virtual Office & Office Space

Why would i need a virtual office in Hong Kong?

The region of Hong Kong, which is politically designated as the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the People’s Republic of China, had been established as a major international center for trade and finance, enjoying liberal trade policies since the time when it was colonized by the British more than a century ago. Although Hong Kong is now part of mainland China and administered by China’s political government, it still enjoys autonomous privileges as a region under “One Country, Two Systems”. With this flexibility, Hong Kong has continued to flourish as an international commercial center with a duty-free port that helps to facilitate economic growth for this city. This is one of the reasons why Hong Kong is the 11th largest banking center in the world and the 10th largest trading entity.

The economy of Hong Kong is primarily supported by trading activities including import-exports. Apart from that, the wide range of finance and commercial facilities as well as excellent communications infrastructure has enabled Hong Kong to become the regional headquarters for many multinational organizations. The Central and Western Districts within Hong Kong are regarded as Hong Kong’s Central Business District where beautiful skyscrapers fill the skyline overlooking the Victoria Harbour. Located at the northern tip of Hong Kong Island, the CBD area is also where the Government Hill is situated in addition to being the location of many corporate headquarters of large multinational corporations.

The major roads within Central Hong Kong include Connaught Road and Queen’s Road Central. In fact, this is also the location where the third tallest building in Hong Kong, the Bank of China Tower is situated. Standing at 1209 feet, this building has the headquarters of the Bank of China as its anchor tenant. Inspired by Bamboo shoots, the Bank of China Tower was a source for controversy with the sharp edges of the building resembling a cleaver, which was thought to be bad Feng Shui for its neighbors. Other companies that have set up offices in the Bank of China Tower include legal firms such as Pei Cobb Freed & Partners.

Other important roads within the Hong Kong Central area include Edinburgh Place, Lan Kwai Fong, Ladder Street, Soho and Hollywood Street. Edinburgh Place is where the Hong Kong City Hall is located, a venue which is prominent for concerts and opera in Hong Kong. This is also where the Victoria Harbour is located, one of the deepest container ports in the world. Thus, this would be a good location for a virtual office or an office space to companies conducting shipping and logistics businesses.

Hollywood Street is historically renowned as a retail area dedicated to the movies. This is where much products memorabilia is sold, such as antiques, furniture, Tibetan rugs, and ceramic horsemen from the Ming Dynasty. This would be a highly suitable location for virtual offices or an office space with dealings in the business of souvenirs and collectibles of the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

The area of Soho is well-known as an entertainment district, and is located south of Hollywood Street, hence the word So-Ho. This is where restaurants, night clubs, bars, art galleries and antique stores are found in abundance. The uniqueness of Soho lies in the fact that it is accessible only via the Central Mid-Levels escalator, which is the longest covered escalator in the world.

Another interesting area within Central Hong Kong is the Statue Square, prominent for a long line of historical significance. This was where great statues such as the statues of Queen Victoria and Price Albert were placed before World War II. The HSBC Headquarters is located south of this square, at the same site where the old City Hall that had been demolished in 1933 used to be. This building located at 1 Queen’s Road Central took 6 years for completion and consists of 47 storeys of office spaces. The uniqueness of this structure is that sunlight forms the major lighting source for this tower, a beneficial power-saving feature. Apart from that, lightweight panels for flooring makes installation of telecommunications and computer equipment easy.
