Garden Centre, Grade II historic office building in Sham Shui Po District, Hong Kong

Garden Centre is a white multi-storey building at 58 Castle Peak Road in Sham Shui Po, the headquarters and part of the factory of the Garden food company. Six floors of windows sit in horizontal rows between white bands, above a recessed ground level with darker openings. A broad red fascia carries the logo, the word "Garden" and the characters 嘉頓, and the clock tower stands at the top left with a white face and black hands on red.

Garden Centre was completed in 1935 as the tallest building in Sham Shui Po, without its clock tower. During the Japanese occupation it was seized and its machinery damaged; in the 1950s it supplied bread and biscuits to the British forces. Damaged in the 1956 Double Ten riots, it was expanded in 1958 to seven floors and the clock tower was added. The design is attributed to Shanghai architects Kaitai and partner Zhu Bin.

The building serves as a familiar landmark where locals have gathered and conducted business for decades, creating memories tied to its distinctive red entrance. Its clock and signage remain touchstones that residents use to orient themselves and mark the rhythm of the neighborhood.

Garden Centre stands at 58 Castle Peak Road in Sham Shui Po, near the junction with Tai Po Road. The clock tower faces the street, with a small public sitting-out area in front of it. The building is a working factory and head office, so visits are limited to the exterior; the clock itself now keeps normal time.

The clock tower was added only in 1958, when the factory was raised to seven storeys; the 1935 original had no tower. In 2018 the Town Planning Board approved a 25-storey redevelopment but required the clock, the red wall behind it and two baker logos to be kept, not the whole tower. As of 2026 the rebuild had not started; the building was renovated again in 2022.
