Opened on 13 April 1994, Times Square is a landmark commercial development in Causeway Bay combining a multi-storey retail podium with office tower space. It is owned by Wharf Properties, part of The Wharf (Holdings) Limited group.
The complex is designed for high-footfall shopping, with many floors of retail connected by prominent internal escalators and an indoor atrium feel. Its setting puts you right in the middle of Causeway Bay’s shopping streets, neon signage, and constant flow of people.
Because it is largely indoors, it works well as a practical stop in humid or rainy weather, and it is also a convenient meeting point in the area.
