Strong demand for retail space from the services industry and higher rents have encouraged Wharf (Holdings) to convert some office floors at Harbour City in Tsim Sha Tsui to semi-retail use.

Some lower floors of Harbour City buildings, including World Finance Tower (North), Wharf T&T Centre, and World Commerce Centre, have already been converted and more will follow.
