In June, Swire Properties unveiled "Taikoo Square", a new green space that will foster urban biodiversity and community wellbeing in the heart of Taikoo Place. Swire Properties partnered with world-renowned landscape architect Kathryn Gustafson, and ecological expert Dr Billy Hau, from the University of Hong Kong, to create a naturalistic open space planted with over 220 native and exotic plant species, hand-picked to provide suitable habitat and food sources for birds, butterflies and other insects and create a green corridor connecting with neighbouring Mount Parker and Quarry Bay Park. Together with Taikoo Garden (opened last year), and the newly converted open space at Taikoo Piazza, the opening of the new garden means Taikoo Place now offers more than 70,000 square feet, or 30% of greenery and open space of the total site area for the community to enjoy.
