Apm, Commercial tower and retail complex in Kwun Tong District, Hong Kong.
apm is a vertical mall occupying ten retail floors of Millennium City 5, a Sun Hung Kai Properties development on Kwun Tong Road, with about 600,000 sq ft (56,000 m2) of retail space and a floor plate of roughly 50,000 sq ft. Its exterior uses 350 glass panels, and four air-conditioned footbridges link it to Kwun Tong MTR station, Yue Man Square, Entrepot Centre and Crocodile Centre. Two express escalators run from Level 1 to 3 and Level 3 to 5.
apm occupies the site of the former Tung Kowloon Plaza industrial building, demolished in May 2002. First planned as "Millennium City Super City", it was renamed apm and leasing began in November 2003. The first 60 shops opened on 18 March 2005, and the mall was officially inaugurated on 17 July 2005 together with the t:>>park roof garden.
The name apm fuses "am" and "pm", matching the slogan "play more, sleep less" and shops that stay open past midnight. The lobby stage hosts street performances by aspiring singers and music groups, and film and record companies hold signing sessions and premieres here. Free shuttle buses ran between the mall and the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, 30 to 50 trips.
The center connects directly to Kwun Tong MTR station through exit A2, with four temperature-controlled footbridges and two express escalators for moving between levels. These connections make reaching and navigating the building straightforward and comfortable.
The name fuses "am" and "pm" to signal late-night shopping, and most shops stay open past midnight. The mall also holds a Guinness World Record: in January 2006 its express escalators carried the world's first escalator advertising, with safety messages stuck on the handrails.
