Atrium of Maritime Square
Maritime Square (Chinese: 青衣城; pinyin: Qīngyīchéng) is a 4-storey shopping centre located on Tsing Yi Island, Hong Kong. It was built and is owned by the MTR Corporation Limited (MTRCL) in conjunction with the opening of Tsing Yi station. Maritime Square is directly connected to Tierra Verde (盈翠半島; Pinyin: Yíngcuì Bàndǎo), a large housing complex that is also built and developed by the MTRCL.
Opened in 2003, the shopping centre boasts surface area of 46,000 square meters, and contains a Golden Harvest Cinema, numerous restaurants, and many common stores found in area shopping malls, including a Starbucks and a Taste. It also contains a Hong Kong Jockey Centre, which is the first off-course betting branch of Hong Kong Jockey Club to be opened on the island.
The landlords claimed in December 2004 that daily traffic at the mall is 170,000[1].
[edit] Future expansion
There are plans to expand the shopping centre into the existing bus terminal to further cater for the needs of residents of Tsing Yi. Some oppose the plan that it will block the already crowded skyline.
