HKBig banks and fashion retailers are shifting their presence in Hong Kong's prime retail spaces, with HSBC relocating to a new flagship branch in the Capitol Centre after closing two existing branches in Causeway Bay. The move comes as HSBC pays significantly lower rent compared to previous tenants, who included high-profile fashion brands like Chanel and Victoria’s Secret.

The decision reflects broader trends in the retail sector, where businesses are seeking cost-effective yet prominent locations to attract customer attention.
