Shaw Brothers Clearwater Bay Studio to be Redeveloped

Posted: July 13th, 2026 | No Comments »

Funnily enough I found myself down by the old Shaw Brothers studio site in Clearwater Bay on a trip to Hong Kong last year. It was quite by accident – some wrong minibus numbers proved fortuitous. The old Shanghai studio relocated to Hong Kong and maker of numerous classic movies. 

Apparently Fosun International are redeveloping the site (“reimagining” they say but we’ll ignore that nonsense) as a “mixed-use residential and lifestyle space”. They claim they’re spending HK$10bn. We shall see what emerges….

Shaw Brothers in its heyday and the remaining main building….
