A harbourfront event space is set to open in Hung Hom, Hong Kong next month after Bay Area Media, a firm linked to mainland China, secured a three-year tenancy for the former railway freight pier. The Development Bureau awarded the contract to Bay Area Media, whose parent company is Bauhinia Culture (Hong Kong) Holdings, a state-backed enterprise with interests in media, entertainment, and publishing. The new space will feature exhibitions, performances, and pet-friendly facilities, opening to the public in phases. The contract was awarded through a tender system that prioritized technical proposals over price.
