Located at the heart of Central, Hong Kong, the Hive Mind is a cutting-edge urban mobility hub designed to evolve with the growing demand for air transport in the near future.

By revitalizing the One International Finance Centre, Hive Mind seamlessly integrates both current and future transportation networks. The building's innovative vertical structure connects with existing systems such as the subway and elevated walkways, while also linking to emerging modes of transport like Passenger Drones, Package Delivery Drones, and Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) systems. Its proximity to Victoria Harbour provides easy access to ferries, yachts, cargo ships, and offers breathtaking views of the city.

Beyond traditional public transport, the Hive Mind also functions as a central hub for package receiving, sorting, and drone distribution. Multilevel conveyor systems efficiently connect drones, storage areas, and delivery vehicles.

The building's compact yet porous design allows drones and other air vehicles to navigate and land with ease, all while maintaining an environmentally friendly footprint. In addition to optimizing cargo sorting and delivery, Hive Mind retains a visually striking aesthetic that enhances the experience for both city residents and urban travelers alike.
