KTR350 is a new commercial development in Kwun Tong whose striking appearance and innovative interiors brim of eco-friendliness and wellness.
A stroll along the busy Kwun Tong Road brings you to an eye-catching building that stands out from the sea of soaring square offices. To some people, its cylindrical and elliptical façade resembles a stack of coins to bring good fung shui to its tenants, but for others, it offers circular office spaces to boost staff productivity and creativity.
A modern twist on sustainability
The truth is that this Grade A commercial building is a novel representation of wool yarn in a spun, inspired by its developer LAWSGROUP which has roots in apparel manufacturing for over 50 years.
Conceptual ideas aside, this unique architectural design actually functions to bring out optimal environmental benefits. It boosts material efficiency that cools the building by improving heat dissipation; increases energy efficiency and lowers energy usage; optimizes natural lighting; improves ventilation and reduces wind resistance.
All these sustainability efforts are endorsed by leading organizations including the LEED certification for being an efficient and cost-saving green building, HKGBC BEAM Plus for sustainable performance, and WELL for its commitment to health and safety.
In addition, KTR350 is the recipient of the “Chairman’s Pick of Excellence” award for Outstanding Performance in Green Design, and is a finalist for Outstanding Performance in Net Zero at the first CRECCHKI Real Estate ESG Awards GBA 2023, fully recognizing its efforts in “Creating a Built-to-Live Environment”.
Make the most of green spaces
The beauty of KTR350 comes to life as tenants experience a holistic approach on work-life balance.
According to LAWSGROUP, this 29-storey tower offers 280,000 square feet of office area covering 23 floors and 35,000 square feet of retail area in 4 floors. In the midst of the hustle and bustle is a huge dedicated open space and greenery of over 10,300 square feet.
At the 17th floor Sky Garden, tenants can engage in leisure and recreation activities. This landscaped garden features a 360 running track where staff can go for a workout as they enjoy sweeping views of the vicinity.
The Rooftop Garden is also a great place to chill out for coffee breaks and social activities under the blue skies and verdant greens while taking in a bird’s eye view of Kwun Tong.
Elsewhere in the building are bright, spacious interiors adorned with urban plants, filling up the air with tranquility to help employees thrive.
For a breath of fresh air away from work, a stone’s throw away is Kwun Tong Promenade, ideal for a relaxing walk along its pleasant waterfront boardwalk, taking in the views of the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal or splendid night views of Hong Kong Island East and Victoria Harbor.
Contemporary to the core
A closer look into the building reveals that its interiors are equally outstanding and innovative as its exteriors.
KTR350 has partnered with China Mobile to integrate cutting-edge “5G + IoT + Data Visualization” technologies to offer seamless and automated management.
Already in place are smart building management, smart parking system, smart washrooms, full indoor coverage of 5G connectivity and dedicated 5G bandwidth. Equipped with enhanced convenience, speed, reliability and security, KTR350’s tenants are ready to embark on a journey to success.
In particular, its smart parking system ensures hassle-free parking. Spanning over 5 floors, its 148 private car parking spaces are 100 percent equipped with EV chargers. There are also spots for accessible parking, motorcycles parking and loading/ unloading bays.
Location, location, location!
KTR350 is just one-minute walk from Ngau Tau Kok MTR Station and right next to a major public transport hub. This strategic location is crucial as the Hong Kong government is developing Kwun Tong together with its neighboring districts Kai Tak and Kowloon Bay to form Kowloon East, the city’s second central business district (CBD).
This mega urban renewal project has seen a relocation of major government departments into Kowloon East with exciting projects in the pipeline, including Kai Tak Sports Park, the high quality sports centre for community and international sports events, and hotel facilities around Kai Tak Cruise Terminal.
Surrounding KTR350 are high-grade office buildings and trendy shopping centers with international financial institutions and banks to form a vibrant premier business district.
Whether it be organizational expansion or setting up a new office, those who are seeking workplaces in a flourishing business hub with reduced environmental impact and increased well-being should look no further.
