FROM AVIATION HUB TO CREATIVE HUB

For decades, Kai Tak's Runway 13/31 was Hong Kong's connection to the world. It was famous for the "checkerboard approach"—a thrilling maneuver that brought planes skimming over city rooftops before touching down on this iconic strip of land jutting into Victoria Harbour.

Today, the planes are gone, but the spirit of connection remains. We built Runway 1331 to be a new kind of hub. Not for transit, but for connection, creation, and community.

A HOME FOR THE NEXT GENERATION

Runway 1331 is designed for the youth of Hong Kong, the Mainland, and the world. We saw a need for a space that bridges the gap between a brief hostel stay and a long-term apartment lease—a place where living is intertwined with learning and creating.

Whether you're an artist looking for studio space, a student needing a focused environment, or a traveler wanting to plug into local culture, the Runway is your launchpad.
