Summary
Sun Hung Kai Properties said YOHO MALL in Yuen Long continued its mall upgrade in the first half of 2026 with a strategy focused on younger consumers, premium positioning and cross-border demand. The landlord said the project has so far completed new leases and expansion renewals equivalent to 20% of the tenant mix in 2026, covering nearly 90 tenant brands, including 75 new entrants. Average daily footfall exceeded 200,000 in the first half, up 7% year on year, while vehicle traffic rose 12%. The company said the fully connected YOHO mall cluster now forms a one-stop destination spanning one million square feet.
Key Points
- Deputy General Manager of Leasing at SHKP's agency business, Wong Pui-ling, said first-store openings, exclusive IP events and cross-border shopping experiences lifted traffic and spending conversion in the first half.
- The 2026 leasing reshuffle covered nearly 90 tenant brands, with 75 completely new brands across dining, retail, sports and healthy living categories.
- New additions included Yuen Long's first POP MART flagship, Hong Kong's first Emperor Jewellery luxury concept store, and a flagship EFX24 round-the-clock gym.
- Food and beverage expansion brought in PICI, Tim Ho Wan, Curry Room, Satay King White Curry Company, Chagee and Luckin Coffee, while Sen Umi Seafood and Sushiro are due in late 2026 and early 2027.
- The mall plans more facilities in the second half of 2026, including The Point Gold Lounge, an outdoor inflatable playground and a nearly 10,000-square-foot Top Pickle venue.
Why It Matters
For retailers and landlords in northwest New Territories, YOHO MALL's upgrade shows how tenant remixing, event programming and transport-linked cross-border offers are being used to defend and grow mall traffic. The push also underlines how developers are positioning large shopping clusters to capture spending tied to the Northern Metropolis and Greater Bay Area integration.
