729 Nathan Road, Grade III historic building in Yau Tsim Mong District, Hong Kong

729 Nathan Road is a three-storey pre-war tong lau completed in 1929. A wide veranda covers the pavement, and the facade combines two Ionic columns running from the first floor to the top with Doric columns at the sides. An arched balcony sits between the columns on the second floor, and an Art Deco triangular pediment inscribed "1929" crowns the building.

The site was bought by owner Wong Ming-yiu in 1928 for HK$7,931, and the three-storey building was completed the following year. Under the 1903 Public Health and Buildings Ordinance, only a three-storey tong lau could be built on the lot in 1929. It was re-registered at the property registration office during the Japanese occupation and was listed as a Grade III historic building by the Antiquities and Monuments Office in 2010.

The ground-floor shop is Yau Lee Shoes, a specialist in dance shoes and Chinese and Western wedding shoes. The building's name is simply its street address, 729 Nathan Road, and it is one of the few pre-war tong lau still standing on the road.

The building stands on the western side of Nathan Road in Mong Kok, in the Yau Tsim Mong District. Its arcade covers the pavement, so pedestrians pass beneath the upper floors. The shoe shop occupies an upper floor, and the building is not open to the public; it is seen from the street.

The building's triangular Art Deco pediment carries the year "1929" carved beneath it, a detail easily missed from street level. Inside, the original ceiling mouldings, arches and wooden staircase survive. A shoe shop on the upper floor now sells dance shoes and Chinese and Western wedding shoes.
