In the early 19th century, the land of East Point, including the hill, was largely owned by Jardine-Matheson and as a result the hill was known as Jardine's Hill. In 1923, Hong Kong tycoon Lee Hysan bought the Jardine's Hill property, west of Causeway Bay from Jardines for HK$3.8 million, and developed the property into a hotel. The site has since been redeveloped as a commercial development which includes office accommodation and a shopping mall

The area also contained Lee Garden One (formerly called Manulife Plaza), Two, Three, Five and Six. They were owned by Hysan Development.[1]:185
