The current 7 Smart-Spaces house nearly 400 companies representing a range of industries from e-commerce to IT consultancy, digital marketing and FinTech.

The Tsuen Wan site - Smart-Space 8 (SS8) can accommodate over 140 companies with 60 flexi-spaces, 48 workstations and 33 office rooms. Located at the CDW Building in the heart of Tsuen Wan, the newly renovated commercial complex comprises of the a shopping mall and many restaurants, as well as connected walkway to MTR plus many other options of public transport.
