SHKP’s Latest Masterpiece in Luxury Leasing – The New Elite Residence Collection

TOWNPLACE represents SHKP’s latest in-house premium residential leasing brand, inheriting the Group’s esteemed reputation for luxury residential leasing while crafting quality living solutions tailored for global executives and professionals. As a modern evolution of SHKP’s luxury residential leasing portfolio, TOWNPLACE integrates the Group’s resources to elevate the high-end living experience for contemporary elites.

The brand’s portfolio is strategically situated in the prime districts of Mid-Levels Central, Kennedy Town, and West Kowloon, offering nearly 1,300 units collectively. The latest harbourfront flagship, TOWNPLACE WEST KOWLOON, exemplifies the brand’s positioning with its proximity to SHKP’s West Kowloon commercial cluster, and being just one station away from High Speed Rail Hong Kong West Kowloon Station^#, offering strategic access to key cities in the Greater Bay Area.

This flagship project embraces the artistic ambiance of the West Kowloon Cultural District while seamlessly connects to SHKP’s International Commerce Centre (ICC), International Gateway Centre (IGC), Artist Square Towers, and the International Finance Centre (ifc) in Central CBD, providing premier business, shopping, and cultural experiences that reflect SHKP’s forward-looking vision for future premium residential living.

Pioneering Industry Firsts: Three Innovative Breakthroughs Redefining Modern Luxury Residential Experience

1. A Digital Passport Upon Move-in: Seamless Access to the SHKP Ecosystem

Executive elites with refined tastes, despite their demanding work schedules, pursue the ultimate in efficiency and quality of life, requiring access to premium services anytime and anywhere. In response, TOWNPLACE actively digitalises the residential journey by offering TOWNERs an exclusive “Digital Passport” to SHKP’s extensive ecosystem from the moment they sign their lease. This innovation bridges previously separate “living spaces” and “consumption networks”, instantly integrating TOWNERs into SHKP’s comprehensive quality lifestyle network across Hong Kong. This includes nearly 30 SHKP shopping malls, almost 3,000 merchants, and 6 “Royal” hotels within The Point network. From Michelin-starred restaurants to international luxury boutiques, and five-star hotel dining and hospitality experiences, TOWNERs enjoy a top-tier lifestyle offering that transcends geographical boundaries.

Through full digitalisation of the rewards mechanism and direct integration with The Point App, TOWNPLACE ensures reward bonus points are credited directly to accounts, with every 250 points convertible to $1 Point Dollar for cash-equivalent use at designated mall merchants, translating into tangible lifestyle rewards. This streamlined process eliminates complex redemption procedures, transforming them into a “seamless” and “instant gratification” proactive lifestyle enjoyment, significantly enhancing TOWNERs’ sense of belonging to the brand and the Group.

Earn Up to 75,000 The Point Bonus Points | Unlimited Referral Rewards

From now on, new leases or renewals at the harbourfront flagship TOWNPLACE WEST KOWLOON earn corresponding one-time fixed The Point bonus points based on eligible reward categories. Specified eligible individuals receive additional bonus points, while The Point Gold members will enjoy exclusive privileges with extra bonus points on top of all rewards, totalling up to 75,000 points in value*. Furthermore, existing TOWNPLACE guests can earn unlimited bonus points by successfully referring friends and family to any project under the brand without a referral limit*, providing TOWNERs with the opportunity for endless rewards.

2. 15-Minute CBD Living Circle Connecting Hong Kong’s Prime Locations

TOWNPLACE is the exclusive brand in Hong Kong’s serviced apartment market to offer the TRIO clubhouse access experience. Unlike single-project clubhouse facilities available elsewhere, TOWNERs enjoy borderless access across TOWNPLACE’s three premium clubhouses spanning 83,000 square feet, located in Mid-Levels Central, Kennedy Town, and the West Kowloon harbourfront.

Each location is within walking distance of MTR stations, enabling a 15-minute commute to the CBDs of Central and West Kowloon^{^}. This innovative model extends TOWNERs’ living space beyond their individual residences, offering them a distinctive “Citywide Pass” that establishes multiple lifestyle hubs across Hong Kong’s most iconic prime locations. This setup delivers ultimate flexibility in premium living for professionals while solidifying TOWNPLACE’s unparalleled leadership position in the high-end leasing market.

3. Empowering Space Through Bespoke Experiences to Cultivate an Exclusive High-Net-Worth Community

TOWNPLACE embraces the Community Architect philosophy prevalent in Silicon Valley’s tech circles, crafting personalised experiential journeys for each TOWNERs. Moving beyond traditional, passive clubhouse services, the dedicated TOWNPLACE Community Team proactively curated sophisticated social and wellness experiences that blend the latest lifestyle trends with strategic collaborations with internationally renowned brands. This approach revitalises clubhouse spaces and brings world-class mindfulness and wellness experiences right at TOWNERs’ doorsteps, elevating the prestige and uniqueness of the TOWNPLACE.

As SHKP’s first premium residential leasing brand to join The Point, this strategic partnership marks a significant milestone in the Group’s residential leasing business. The future of luxury living transcends physical spaces — it is about “connection” and “empowerment”. TOWNPLACE orchestrates every life moment in harmony with SHKP’s premium ecosystem. Through seamless integration with The Point, TOWNPLACE connects TOWNERs to a comprehensive lifestyle ecosystem encompassing residential living, shopping, dining, and entertainment. Looking ahead, TOWNPLACE will continue pioneering innovative collaborations and synergies across the Group’s portfolio to unlock unprecedented value for TOWNERs.

• The industry platform with international appeal
• A source of innovation and inspiration for the toy world

NUREMBERG, Germany, Feb. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The 75^th Spielwarenmesse will remain a milestone for the industry: The wintriest edition in years, filled with anniversary celebrations and a special atmosphere. From 27 to 31 January in Nuremberg, 2,313 exhibitors from 68 countries presented a vast array of products – including the growing “Kidults” segment. Around 58,900 trade visitors (+2.5%) from 121 nations explored new trends, fresh formats, and networking opportunities with enthusiasm.

Industry platform with international appeal: The 75th Spielwarenmesse thrilled the industry from 27 to 31 January in Nuremberg with numerous anniversary activities, a vibrant atmosphere, and pioneering innovations and trends.

Despite ongoing geopolitical challenges, the industry mood was upbeat. 93% of exhibitors – 3% more than last year – rated their participation as successful. Mattel hosted several global launches, while the Simba Dickie Group praised the high quality of trade visitors. “No other fair matches the international significance of Spielwarenmesse,” said Florian Sieber. Visitor numbers from the USA remained strong, with mainland China and Hong Kong posting major gains thanks to a non-overlapping Chinese New Year. Growth was also recorded from Mexico, Turkey, the UK, and France, while Germany maintained its elevated level from last year. The event’s international spirit and festive mood were reflected in strong media coverage. “We were delighted by the tremendous media interest – lots of TV team, national press and content creators,” said Roger Kettler of Carrera Revell Europe.

Groundbreaking impulses were provided by the two ToyTrends “AI Loves (to) Play” and “Creative Mindfulness”. Through numerous product examples, they were brought to life at the Spielwarenmesse just as vividly as “Toys for Kidults”. The hype surrounding adults who play has enabled iDventure to make its breakthrough – and to win one of the six coveted ToyAward prizes. “Winning has led to more positive stress for us and contributed to greater attention at our booth,” says Christoph Kossendey with delight. Leonard Mieg from Tipp-Kick, one of the 14 original exhibitors, reports a higher frequency of specialist retailers from the DACH region. “Spielwarenmesse is a must-see for anyone in the toy business — a high-energy event with a diverse product selection,” says Kathy Trivsonno from the US-American trade association Astra.

The Spielwarenmesse is also impressive proof of the success and relevance of the licensing business. “This is evident not only in the exhibition areas, but also in the License Lounge and our neighboring Licensing International booth, which have become the licensing industry’s home base at the fair,” emphasizes Petra Strobl from Licensing International Germany. Valuable toy know-how was once again shared in the Toy Business Forum. The Value of Play Conference celebrated a successful premiere here. “The event offered high-quality, well-curated content, and the practical examples and concrete market figures significantly enriched my trade fair conversations,” says Polish publisher Dorota Mazurek. The Game Inventors Convention also met with great approval, with international games organizations represented for the first time. Mary Couzin from the Chicago Toy and Game Group was also present: “The atmosphere created a pull effect that benefited everyone – a great exchange for the game community.”

In addition to content-driven impulses, the fair also set new standards in the increasing networking of participants. “Spielwarenmesse is the best networking opportunity for the entire toy industry,” says Lucca Liv from Unique Baby in Denmark. The exclusive ToyNight united all exhibitors under the motto “Welcome to the Future,” while the RedNight on Thursday created a lively atmosphere in the exhibition halls. René Bleckmann from Party Factory emphasizes: “The event is very, very important for us to get into conversation with customers and potential business partners and to celebrate with them.” The illuminations of Kaiserburg and Frauentorturm underlined the festive mood in ToyCity Nuremberg, where some trade fair participants experienced snow for the first time.

The high level of exhibitor satisfaction is also reflected in the figures: 90% of companies plan to exhibit again in Nuremberg from 2 to 6 February 2027. “With this, Spielwarenmesse has once again confirmed its global leading position and underlined its role as the central meeting point for trade, industry and media, where inspiration, innovation and networking come together at the highest level,” summarizes Christian Ulrich, Spokesperson of the Executive Board at Spielwarenmesse eG.
