The three floor mall houses more than 70 computer shops and attracts some 10,000 customers daily.[1] Shops sell various kinds of products, including laptops, computer software, hardware and other accessories. Most shops offer made-to-order computers with customizable configurations, while others offer individual parts for customers who prefer to build own machines.
Ownership
editIn the 1990s, the building was owned by Tang Shing-bor (鄧成波), a major property investor in Mong Kok.[2] Alpha Investment Partners, the property investment fund of Keppel Land of Singapore, bought it for HK$750 million in January 2007.[3][4]
Strikes by tenants
editIn February 2009, shop operators and tenants went on strikes to demand a rent cut during the economic downturn.[5][6] Another strike occurred in April 2009, over complaints that computer festival bargains were cutting into their sales.[7]
