History
The airline built Cathay City so that all central employees could work in one location. The headquarters opened in 1998. The topping out ceremony was held on February 17, 1998. Cathay Pacific City was scheduled to be built in increments between April and September 1998. It was scheduled to open in July, when Hong Kong International Airport at Chek Lap Kok was to open. It was scheduled to have over 3,000 employees. The airline's move to the centre was scheduled to begin in June. On 6 July, operational departments were scheduled to be ready for the airport. In the second half of 1998 the rest of the airline was scheduled to move in. Previously the airline's headquarters were at the Swire House, which was a building in Central named after the airline's parent company. Llewelyn-Davies serves as the architect and Simon Jackson and Associates outfitted the hotel interiors. Cathay Pacific City had a cost of 4.9 billion Hong Kong dollars.
