Creating unique experiences through the power of innovation, culture and creativity

Victoria Dockside's rich portfolio of offerings leads visitors on "a journey of imagination" that immerses them in a uniquely dynamic experience catering to their every need:

• At its heart is K11 MUSEA, Hong Kong's "Silicon Valley of Culture", a revolutionary cultural-retail destination that transcends traditional shopping malls with its avant-garde design fused with a year-round celebration of arts and culture.
• Work productivity is optimised at K11 ATELIER, as the first-ever office building to pioneer the "Vertical Creative City" Concept that transforms the design, purpose and culture of workplaces.
• K11 ARTUS, the Asia's first luxury residences with a social mission to preserve and promote fast-disappearing Chinese artisanship, redefines the ultra-luxury residential experience with the pioneer "Artisanal Home" concept, that is infused with marvellous design and a world-class art collection.
• The sophisticated and modern urban sanctuary Rosewood Hong Kong offers gastronomic journeys, exceptional service, wellness experiences and breathtaking views; along the seaside, the revitalised Avenue of the Stars celebrates Hong Kong's film industry as a popular hot spot that adds glitz and glamour to the district.  

True to its core values, Victoria Dockside has been at the forefront of incubating the local cultural scene by hosting a top-notch rotation of art events, collaborations and workshops throughout the year. Just to name a few:

• K11 Art Karnival, the Group's annual flagship programme, is on its third run in March this year since 2021.

Together with the K11 MUSEA's annual couture exhibition "The Love of Couture: Artisanship in Fashion Beyond Time" held last year in collaboration with London's Victoria and Albert (the "V&A") Museum and co-chaired by internationally acclaimed Production Designer William Chang Suk Ping, Victoria Dockside became the focus of the City.
