Hills Centre

Hills Centre (Chinese: 丘陵中心; pinyin: Qiūlíng Zhōngxīn) is a shopping mall and entertainment complex in Hillsborough, Tseng City-Capital, Tseng. It is located on the former site of the Hillsborough Maximum Security Prison (HMSP).

Hills Centre opened in stages, with the first phase opening on March 15, 1990. It was the largest mall in Tseng until 2008. Additional retail space can be found in the adjoining Hills Plaza power center and the Hills Premium outlet mall.

History
In 1985, the HMSP moved to a different location. In 1986, redevelopment was approved and construction began on February 16 of that year. Hills Centre's construction was financed by multiple dashangs, including Kuang Holdings and Dong Yung, and the Tseng National Railway. The concept was masterminded by property developer Achille Tong.

The first phase of the development, the Red Section, was opened on March 15, 1990. At the time, it featured a large Carrefour supermarket (the company's third branch in Tseng), a Kang Meng department store, and a Best Products showroom store. Hills Centre also featured the first international branch of The Home Depot. TNR opened the Hills Centre station on the same day as the Red Section, with a EMD SD60 hauling a local passenger train from Tseng City to Hillsborough to bring customers to the mall.

The second phase of development, the Green Section, was opened on December 12, 1994, in time for the Christmas season. It included Hillsworld, the largest indoor amusement park in Asia, as well as the first IKEA in Tseng.
