New Town Plaza

New Town Plaza is a shopping mall in the town centre of Sha Tin in Hong Kong. Developed by Sun Hung Kai Properties, it was the biggest shopping mall in the New Territories of Hong Kong when it was completed in the early 1980s. Covering 200,000 square metres , the plaza comprises Phase 1 , Phase 3, which are connected to each other, and Grand Central Plaza, which is less than one kilometre from Phase 1. Currently under extensive renovation, the nine-storey main mall is right next to Sha Tin Station and Citylink Plaza.
