Pacific Place is a complex of office towers, hotels and a shopping centre situated at 88 Queensway, in Admiralty, Hong Kong. The latest phase, Three Pacific Place, is located at 1 Queen's Road East Wan Chai.〔(Three Pacific Place on emporis.com )〕〔(Three Pacific Place on skyscraperpage.com )〕 The four-level mall is home to over 130 shops and boutiques〔(Swire: Swire Properties Limited )〕 and one major department store, collectively offering an array of contemporary fashion and luxury brands. The complex is also home to three five-star hotels, a boutique hotel, three Grade-A office towers and 270 five-star serviced apartments. Pacific Place complex is owned and managed by Swire Properties, with the exception of the three hotels (Conrad Hong Kong, Island Shangri-La and JW Marriott Hotel), in each of which it retains a 20% equity interest.〔 == History == Pacific Place was developed by Swire Properties. Phases One and Two were built on land formerly part of Victoria Barracks, one of the first military compounds in Hong Kong. The land was auctioned by the Hong Kong Government during redevelopment and was successfully bid for by Swire. It was purchased in two tranches in 1985 and 1986 for a total cost of US$1 billion.〔("Star Struck!", in ''Swire News'', 1st issue, 2009, pp. 10–15 )〕 Phase One opened in 1988.〔 The Conrad International Hotel was completed in 1991.〔(Conrad International Hotel on emporis.com )〕〔(Conrad International Hotel on skyscraperpage.com )〕 Phase Three was completed in 2004.〔(Pacific Place: About Us )〕 It was developed from old buildings on Star Street, Wan Chai.〔 Pacific Place underwent a major renovation that was completed in 2011. It involved interior, exterior, and architectural refinements which cost more than HK$1.5 billion.〔(''Swire News'', 2008 Autumn, page 4 )〕 The natural, warmer and softer design of the development, with a contemporary sophisticated style was developed by Thomas Heatherwick.〔(Pacific Place: The Great Mind Behind )〕 Along with softened aesthetics of both the mall's interior and the exterior of the complex, Swire Properties also revealed a new logo for Pacific Place to replace the one in existence since the late 1980s. The new identity comprises free-flowing lines that come together to form the complex's name, accompanied by a monogram composed of two connected "P"s. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pacific Place」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
