香港铜锣湾的mock古典式建筑「1881 Heritage」购物中心曾经吸引大量中国大陆游客前来购物，但如今这里既没有人流也不再有知名品牌。李嘉诚旗下的CK资产有限公司拥有超过30个单元中的大多数，但目前只有3个单元被租用，整个连廊式的庭院显得格外宁静。
邻近的广东道上，一个原本由Omega租用的店铺现在被银行承租，每月租金仅为原来的20%，据熟悉这笔交易的房地产代理人透露。但他们不愿透露姓名，因为这件事涉及隐私。
在湾仔区的路西街，一家以变形金刚为主题的快餐店取代了英国品牌Burberry的位置，每月租金比2019年降低了89%，据相关房地产代理人说，他们熟悉这笔交易，但因涉及隐私而不愿透露姓名。
原文摘要：
In Hong Kong’s Tsim Sha Tsui district, the mock-classical 1881 Heritage mall used to lure queues of mainland Chinese tourists eager to shop at boutiques operated by brands such as Tiffany, Cartier and Chopard. Now it attracts neither crowds nor brands. Only three of the more than 30 units at the mall owned by billionaire Li Ka-shing’s CK Asset Holdings Ltd. are occupied, and its colonnaded courtyards are quiet.. On nearby Canton Road, a shop previously rented by Swatch Group AG’s Omega for about HK$7.5 million ($962,000) a month is leased to a bank for 80% less, according to real estate agents familiar with the deal. Over in Causeway Bay’s Russell Street, a Transformers-themed fast-food restaurant has taken the place of Burberry Plc. Its rent is 89% below the HK$8.8 million the British firm was forking out in 2019, the agents said, declining to be identified because the matter is private. .
