Hong Kong entrepreneur Adrian Cheng is poised to extend his K11 art space-shopping mall concept to a giant $2.6bn cultural district overlooking the city's famed harbour. The New World Development scion sees his Victoria Dockside scheme as a means of democratising art that will enable millennials to "appreciate beauty and culture". After launching his first K11 mall a decade ago in Hong Kong, Cheng aims to open a further 29 in China by 2024, with plans already in train to establish malls in Shanghai, Shenyang, Wuhan and Guanghzou.
