SKP Beijing is said to have surpassed Harrods’ pre-pandemic performance for the first time in sales last year, racking up over CNR 17.7bn (US$2.75bn)), up 17% year-over-year. Over 15mn people visited the store in 2020, and many brands’ best-performing point of sales worldwide are in this mall. SKP’s consistent success comes from the ecosystem that the group has built in the China Central Place area, which covers an area of 150.000m2, hosting three premium office towers, two five-star hotels and a block of luxury apartments, on top of SKP Beijing and its experimental offering SKP-S.
