"When it is complete in mid-2017, H Queen's will offer Hong Kong audiences the greatest concentration of art in Central," said Ms. Kristine Li , Deputy General Manager of Henderson Leasing Agency Company Limited. "Seven global art businesses have already embraced H Queen's as the new heart of the arts in Hong Kong . Together with our other premium tenants of both galleries and F&B, more than 50% of the total space has now been leased."

David Zwirner is H Queen's anchor tenant who has committed to two whole floors totalling close to 10,000 square feet. David Zwirner established his eponymous gallery in New York in 1993 and is now considered to be one of the world's most influential art dealers.

Internationally renowned Pace Gallery was established in 1960 in the United States . Since then, Pace has established strongholds around the world including London , Paris , and Beijing . Pace is one of the foremost runners to establish a gallery in Asia .

Other premium tenants announced today are Pearl Lam Galleries, a leading Asia -based gallery with a presence across Hong Kong , Shanghai and Singapore ; Seoul Auction, the leading auction house in Korea; Tang Contemporary Art Gallery, which began in Bangkok and which is now active in Bangkok , Beijing and Hong Kong ; Whitestone Gallery , which first established a presence in Hong Kong in 2015 and has now committed to two floors in H Queen's to showcase work by Japanese artists and Le Comptoir , the company behind the spectacular Bibo restaurant, which fuses art and gastronomy.

Hong Kong has long been synonymous with the worlds of banking, global trade, international business and high finance, especially in Central. But in recent years art and creativity have come to play a more important part in this mix. Art business is now big business in Hong Kong . Hong Kong is the world's third largest art market by auction sales and its art fairs and galleries now present new work by many thousands of artists every year. As the place with the highest concentration of art in Central, H Queen's may well be the most creative place in Hong Kong .
