D2 Place: A Cultural and Business Hub in Hong Kong

Christopher KL Lau

D2 Place, located in Lai Chi Kok on Kowloon side, has taken up the mantle of a social, cultural and business hub in Hong Kong.

Named after one of the MTR train exits which is nearby, D2 Place is trying to revolutionize how Hong Kong's small enterprises present their work to the world.

Hong Kong has long been known as a business hub and within two uniquely designed 'D2 Place' buildings; local entrepreneurs and creative enterprises have come together to build an ever-growing community whereby ideas can flow and be easily exchanged.

Creativity has to evolve and if similar minded people come together then there is a greater chance for success as an increased flow of relevant information will guarantee a higher level of impact and exposure. D2 Place is growing in reputation as a venue for up and coming fashion designers and handicraft manufacturers to showcase their work in unique boutique shops or at the weekly weekend markets.

Within the walls of D2 Place is a mixed array of restaurants, boutiques and specialist shops. Each shop is distinctive and seeks to promote the best in Hong Kong craftsmanship and flair. The weekend markets allows small enterprises to have a valuable space to promote and sell their wares to visitors who themselves are looking to find alternative places to shop and visit.

All successful businesses need a period of 'incubation' whereby they develop from an initial idea phase to a more solid 'brand'; within the D2 Place community, small enterprises will have the chance to try out their wares and grow step by step.

Visitors will not only find shops at D2 Place but also distinctive restaurants and cafes with many interactive games as well as a large golf simulator. On a last visit, there was a large second hand book shop exchange whereby visitors can browse through a vast array of books.

Easily accessible and right next to Lai Chi Kok MTR station, D2 Place is a new concept which acts as a vital showcase for creative minded people who seek a wider audience in Hong Kong and beyond.
