Sheung Tak Plaza, Shopping center in Tseung Kwan O, Hong Kong.
Sheung Tak Plaza is a four-storey mall at 2 Tang Ming Street in Tseung Kwan O, opened in 1998 and designed by the Housing Department's chief architect (2). It holds about 131,812 square feet of retail space and 102 shops, plus a wet-and-dry market of 84 stalls. A sightseeing lift rises through the atrium, and covered footbridges on level 2 link to Sheung Tak Estate blocks, Tang Ming Court and PopCorn.
The mall and the surrounding Twelve Animals Plaza were completed in March 1998 on land reclaimed in southern Tseung Kwan O, where the Housing Authority built Sheung Tak Estate. It opened as Sheung Tak Shopping Centre under the Housing Authority, was sold to Link REIT in 2005, renamed Sheung Tak Plaza in late 2012, and became TKO Spot in December 2019 after a two-year renovation.
The mall's name changed from Sheung Tak Shopping Centre to Sheung Tak Plaza in 2012, then to TKO Spot in December 2019, when the Chinese name was dropped. Its wet market, renamed Spot Mart, reopened on 13 January 2020 after refurbishment. The circular seating area, originally not meant for sitting, repeatedly drew resting shoppers despite notices and later stainless-steel railings.
The mall sits at 2 Tang Ming Street, with three ground-floor exits onto Tang Ming Street, the Sheung Tak Estate courtyard and the Sheung Tak Public Transport Terminus. Covered footbridges on level 2 lead to PopCorn mall and Tseung Kwan O station. The rooftop basketball court has no lift, so reach it by stairs.
The atrium's sightseeing lift once had a bird-shaped clock on top of its tower, meant to suggest a nest. It rang at set times, but the maker lacked spare parts to repair it, so it was dismantled. The lift's dial display, classical in style, was replaced with a plain LED panel in 2019.
