When the new city plaza was first built in 1984, Sha Tin Railway Station was not officially completed, and no one opened a shop here at that time. Therefore, Sun Hung Kai Properties went out to look for famous Japanese mainstream department stores to operate, but they were all rejected because Shatin was located in the suburbs and had a low population. Sun Hung Kai Properties finally found a Japanese third-rate department store ── Sanhe Department Store (Yaohan). At that time, Yaohan opened in the new city square with a monthly contract of $1/ sq. ft. for 1 years. It was the first time that Yaohan entered the Hong Kong market, and it also developed into a department store kingdom for more than ten years, which moved Yaohan International Corporation from Japan to Hong Kong. Soon after renting nearly half of the new city square to Yaohan, the current Shatian Station was built here because of the electrification of the railway. After the opening, the flow of people increased greatly. Some people even said that the shops in the new city square could be developed even if they bought garbage, which made Sun Hung Kai Property and Yaohan accumulate a lot of money for investing in the new city square. When Yaohan Department Store opened in 198s, it was the largest tenant in the new city plaza. At that time, * * * rented some shops on the 4th floor:

L1 (former Food Parc and current food plaza): it was a supermarket in Yaohan. Food Plaza and Exhibition Center

L2 (the current location of Citysuper): household goods and electrical appliances

L3 (the current Armani Exchange to Zara): including women's wear, young clothes, children's wear and toys department

L4 (the current location of Chocoolate and I.T.): men's wear and sportswear; At present, the location of Marks & Spencer Department Store is the book plaza previously leased by Yaohan to the Commercial Press. In 1991, the third phase of the new city plaza was completed. In order to unify the design of the whole shopping mall, the owner of the shopping mall completely renovated the first phase of the new city plaza for the first time, including completely renovating and replacing the ceilings, signs, atrium exterior walls, toilets and plumbing equipment on all floors. The project was completed in November 1992. In addition, the Rome Square in the shopping mall is equipped with air-conditioning works, air-conditioning systems are installed on the first and second floors, and the exterior wall of the third floor is sealed with glass to make it cooler.

in the same year, Xiangmanlou Seafood Restaurant on the second floor of the shopping mall closed down and was divided into several boutiques and commercial press, named as "Entertainment Pavilion". Until 1995, Sun Hung Kai Properties only continued to lease the 1st and 2nd floors to Yaohan, so Yaohan re-planned the Shatian store, and merged the boys' and girls' clothes and put them in the current citysuper position on the 2nd floor. At present, logon is located in the Home Products and Stationery Department, while the first floor of the shopping mall remains a supermarket and food court. As for the electrical sector, it was abolished in 1995.

Because of the serious water seepage problem, the two patios were sealed with fake ceilings, and light bulbs were installed on the external walls. As for the 16 palm trees near the music fountain on the same floor, they were also razed to the ground, leaving marble patterns as marks.

in p>1996, part of the location of the "fashion circle" on the 4th floor of the shopping mall was converted into Sha Tin HMV and Ma Shilong. On the other hand, a new passage has been built to connect the "fashion circle" to facilitate residents of Shatian Square to enter and leave the new city square.

, Snoopy Happy World was built in the former site of the east wing platform tennis court on the third floor of the shopping mall, and it opened on September 1 of the same year. In order to improve the awareness, a number of signs and theme corridors with the theme of peanut comics were set up on the third floor of the shopping mall, and the relevant signs and decorations were dismantled in the comprehensive renovation project in 26. At the beginning of the opening of Snoopy Happy World, there were a lot of people, so the owner of the mall had planned to transform the platform on the fifth and seventh floors of the mall into a theme park, and planned to rebuild the platform on the fifth floor in 21-22. However, the attraction of Snoopy Happy World decreased, and the plan was blocked.

from 2 to mid-22, in order to increase the value of the shopping mall, the owner of the shopping mall carried out "modernization" projects on some facilities inside the shopping mall, including renovating the ceilings, floors, external walls and toilets on all floors, and simply renovating the external walls of the east wing and west wing of the shopping mall for the

However, the music fountain, a famous attraction in the shopping mall, was forced to be demolished in early September of the same year due to renovation works. Since November 23, the escalator project has been built in the atrium of the shopping mall in stages. Then, in June 24, the 8th floor of the shopping mall took the lead in a comprehensive renovation project, and the original tenants were either forced to close down or moved to other places to continue their business. Later, during the renovation of floors from 24 to 26, the air quality of shopping malls became dirty and a large amount of construction waste was produced. After the renovation of the shopping mall, most of the shops were mainly middle and high-end famous shops, but some famous shops were forced to close down because of poor business volume.
