Festival Walk

Festival Walk is a shopping centre in Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong developed jointly by Swire Properties and CITIC Pacific between 1993 and 1998.

Festival Walk is acquired by Mapletree North Asia Commercial Trust ("MNACT").

The tunnels for the Kwun Tong line of the MTR run through the full length of the site.

Like malls in many western countries, Festival Walk has information booths to assist shoppers.

The developer claims the system's high energy efficiency has saved 5 million kWh each year.

[10] In July 2007, it was announced that Swire Pacific was contemplating listing the property as a real estate investment trust.

At approximately 9:00 pm (0800 GMT) on 30 March 2014 hailstones the size of golf-balls shattered the ceiling windows of Festival Walk during a heavy thunderstorm, causing rain to pour straight into the interior of the mall.

many of the glass barriers were shattered leaving broken glass scattered in the main areas of the mall, including the main entrance and bottom floors, most ground floor windows in the mall were also shattered or vandalised.
