Lee Theatre Plaza, Skyscraper in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong
Lee Theatre Plaza is a 25-storey tower at 99 Percival Street in Causeway Bay, completed in 1995 and designed by DLN Architects. Its facade has a curved central column of green-tinted glass panels crossed by horizontal silver bands, flanked by flat green glass walls and separated by vertical piers of light beige stone. The side wall is clad in small pale square tiles. It holds shops, restaurants and a gym, with no offices.
A theater stood on this site from 1927 until its closure in 1991, serving audiences with Cantonese opera and performance arts. The current building replaced it as part of the area's development into a modern commercial zone.
The name Lee Theatre Plaza keeps the memory of Lee Theatre, the Cantonese opera and film venue demolished in 1991. Inside the main lobby, two couplets from the old stage once hung on either side; they were removed during the renovation that turned the entrance atrium into an open event space. The fifth floor held a cinema until 29 May 2005, when it closed after screening "Crazy N' the City" and "Very Adolescence".
The plaza sits next to Causeway Bay MTR Station and connects with various bus routes serving the area. Its central location makes it easy to reach by public transportation or on foot from nearby streets.
The building has no offices at all: every floor is retail, dining or a gym, unlike typical Hong Kong commercial towers. Its architects were DLN Architects, and a dome on the roof is lit at night. Inside, atriums open on the 6th, 9th, 12th, 16th and 19th floors.
