Henderson Land has offi cially unveiled the highly anticipated Central Yards in Hong Kong, featuring the city’s fi rst ever private Broadway calibre theatre, designed by UNS. The project aspires to become a cultural and symbolic gateway along the New Central Harbourfront. UNS has envisioned a cutting-edge venue that refl ects state-of-the-art ambitions. This distinguished destination will host a wide variety of world-class performances, including touring musicals, global premieres, fl agship concerts, immersive productions, and cross disciplinary showcases, while also serving as a creative hub for a vibrant artistic community. The theatre is part of Central Yards, an ambitious 4.8 ha site and 400 m long groundscraper that constitutes a sustainable CBD mixed-use development, integrating commerce, fi nance, leisure, and cultural activities on the New Central Harbourfront. According to Dr Martin Lee Ka Shing, chairman of Henderson Land, Central Yards is born from Henderson Land’s commitment and love for the city we call home. As a vibrant hub where the treasures of life – nature, culture, joy and ambition come together, Central Yards turns Hong Kong into the world’s grandest stage for future generations. The theatre’s auditorium is designed to seamlessly integrate the performance stage, audience seating, and essential acoustic and technical systems within an intricately sculpted lattice shell. With a capacity of over 1,100 guests, the theatre promises an unparalleled sensory experience, combining a meticulously crafted interior with advanced acoustic and lighting systems to deliver an immersive visual and auditory environment. Alongside the lively theatre, UNS has designed an integrated visitor experience that connects with the surrounding public and offi ce spaces. This includes the adjacent ground and fi rst fl oor landscape spaces, full VIP experience, and the main lobbies of offi ce towers. The result is a fl exible indoor and outdoor setting that fosters opportunities for public engagement and cultural and commercial events, beyond the typical theatre walls.
