History

Perspective
Cornwall Avenue（康和里）was a small street once existed in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. Due to the Hanoi Road redevelopment plan of the Land Development Corporation (now the Urban Renewal Authority),[1] the Lands Department permanently closed down Cornwall Avenue and three other lanes nearby.[2] It is now part of the mall.
In the second half of 1975, the Hong Kong government made an attempt to redevelop Cornwall Avenue and Hanoi Road into leisure and shopping pedestrian areas.[3] Vehicles were not allowed to enter the two streets. However, the implementation soon triggered some counter-effects. After shop owners in Cornwall Avenue complained that the number of customers dropped significantly because vehicles could not enter the area, and the logistics became difficult.[4][5][6] In response, the government lifted the ban on tourist buses, but it did not help.[7] The redevelopment plan was shelved on December 31 of that year.[8]
In 1976, the Town Planning Board submitted a draft to the Executive Council, proposing to demolish dozens of old buildings on Cornwall Avenue, Hanoi Road, and Mody Road, and rebuild the precinct of the roads.[1][9] By 1978, the then Hong Kong government's proposed urban design blueprint for Tsim Sha Tsui was to demolish 39 old buildings within the three roads plus Bristol Avenue (hereinafter referred to as the Four Roads) and rebuild them into a new commercial and residential area. Since the land leases of these lots would expire by the end of 1978, the government decided not to renew the leases with the owners. After several years of disputes and negotiations, in 1982, the government struck a deal with the owners, allowing them to form six companies to carry out their own plans of redevelopment. But, in 1985, these companies shelved their plans due to economic considerations of redevelopment costs. Consequently the government required these owners to pay back the land rents and interests to be paid since 1978.[10]
In the early 2000s, the New World Development and Urban Renewal Authority (URA) put forth another proposal to redevelop the Four Roads. Of which, the Cornwall Avenue area would mainly be redeveloped into a green and recreational area, and the entire street area would be incorporated into K11.[11] Soon after the redevelopment started, some nearby residents revealed that the government turn its back on its promise to preserve the old trees at Cornwall Avenue. The URA's response was that they have never promised not to cut down the old trees.[12]
The shops on Cornwall Avenue mainly catered to tourists.[6]
