At Tatler, we have the pleasure of meeting some truly remarkable people whose excellence shines through, even if that meeting takes place in the less than remarkable setting of a hotel conference room, for example.

Central Crossing represents a test case for heritage preservation in one of the world’s most densely populated cities. The mixed-use development in Hong Kong’s Central district combines 433,000 square feet of new construction with the restoration of Grade 1 and Grade 3 heritage buildings, including one of the city’s oldest surviving shophouses.

The project sits between three heritage sites: Tai Kwun, PMQ, and Central Market, on Wellington Street between Graham and Cochrane Streets. Wing Tai Properties and CSI Properties are developing the site, with Foster + Partners serving as master architect for the dual-tower structure scheduled for completion in mid-2026. Michael Jones, the Senior Partner overseeing the project, has spent three decades working on adaptive reuse of historic buildings, including London’s Great Court at the British Museum and the Stirling Prize-winning Bloomberg Headquarters.
