Central Yards’ New Temporary Pedestrian Passageway To Open on 19 February Enhancing Harbourfront Connectivity with 24-hour Air Conditioning and Artistic Features

Henderson Land Development Company Limited (“Henderson Land” or “the Group”) (Stock code: 12) is pleased to announce that the new temporary pedestrian passageway at Central Yards, the Group’s flagship development on the New Central Harbourfront, will officially open on 19 February (Thursday, the third day of Chinese New Year). The new temporary passageway will provide an upgraded and seamless walking connection between ifc mall and the Central Terminal Building. The existing footbridge will be permanently closed on the same day and will be dismantled later.

Located adjacent to the current temporary footbridge, the new temporary pedestrian passageway offers the public a comfortable walking environment, enhanced by a 24-hour air-conditioning system and artistic elements. The section near the Central Pier has a semi-open design, offering stunning views of the Central Harbourfront, Victoria Harbour and the surrounding natural environment.

Following the opening of the shopping mall in the first phase of Central Yards, the temporary pedestrian passageway will be dismantled and transformed into a vibrant, multi-functional green harbourfront platform. At that time, the public will be able to walk conveniently and comfortably between the Central Harbourfront and ifc through the mall.

Central Yards is envisioned as a global harbourfront icon, inspired by the concept of “The Bridge”, connecting the core of Central, surrounding communities, City Hall, and the world-renowned Victoria Harbour. It will also feature a large-scale open green space for public enjoyment. The first phase of the project is scheduled to top out in the second quarter of this year and open in 2027, while the second phase is expected to be completed in 2032. Central Yards will further elevate Central as a vibrant, cutting-edge global district.
