History[edit]
Opened in April, 1999, the shopping centre has a floor area of 46,000 square metres (500,000 sq ft). The landlords claimed in December 2004 that daily pedestrian traffic at the mall is 170,000.[1]
Recently the MTR expanded the shopping centre onto the site of the Tsing Yi lorry park.[2] Some opposed the plan because it will block the already crowded skyline. The MTR broke ground on the $2.4 billion project in 2015, and work was completed in 2017.[2]
Design[edit]
Maritime Square is the first shopping mall in Hong Kong adopting ocean and navigation as the design theme.
