Timeline

Since the 1980s, Taikoo Place has been redeveloped to become a unique metropolitan environment for business and entertainment.{{cite news|title=It's hip to work in Quarry Bay, as foreign firms exodus Central|url=http://www.scmp.com/property/hong-kong-china/article/2094277/its-hip-work-quarry-bay-foreign-firms-exodus-central|accessdate=1 September 2017|issue=Sunday, 14 May 2017, 3:46pm|newspaper=South China Morning Post|date=14 May 2017}} Until now, notable amenities include the Butterfield's private members club. It is recognized as a popular choice for younger workers to seek employment.{{cite web|title=Deloitte's workplace for the new generation|url=http://hongkongbusiness.hk/building-engineering/more-news/deloittes-workplace-new-generation|website=Building Engineering|date=29 December 2016 |publisher=Hong Kong Business|accessdate=1 September 2017}}

Taikoo Place hosts many advertisement and information technology firms. The PCCW Tower, the tower just next to Dorset House is where the headquarters of PCCW are located, a Hong Kong-based telecommunication company. The local headquarters of IBM and JWT is also situated there, occupying the first 15 storeys. Ironically, more IT firms choose to have their Hong Kong base in Taikoo Place rather than in Cyberport, which was specifically built for this purpose.{{cite web|title=Factsheet - Investment Portfolio (Taikoo Place)|url=http://www.swireproperties.com/~/media/Images/Swireproperties/SiteImages/Media/Factsheet/Fact-sheet_Swire-Props_EN_201701_FINAL.ashx|publisher=Swire Properties|accessdate=2017-09-17|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170629221314/http://www.swireproperties.com/~/media/Images/Swireproperties/SiteImages/Media/Factsheet/Fact-sheet_Swire-Props_EN_201701_FINAL.ashx|archivedate=2017-06-29}}{{cite web|title=Table for Hong Kong Profolio, P.24, Swire Annual Report 2016|url=http://ir.swireproperties.com/en/ir/reports/ar2016.pdf|publisher=Swire Properties|accessdate=31 August 2017}}

The neighbourhood of Taikoo Place used to be residential and industrial. Once Taikoo Place was built, the neighbourhood has been undergoing constant development and gentrification. Concerned about the urban development, Swire Properties has begun construction of serviced apartments north of Devon House, due for completion in 2015.{{cite web|title=Rising High in the City - Quarry Bay "Monster Building"|url=http://www.canon.com.hk/en/club/article/itemDetail.do?itemId=10442|website=Photography Hotspots|publisher=Canon Hong Kong|accessdate=1 September 2017}}
