集團聘請了國際及本地精英建築保育團隊，包括來自英國的建築事務所Purcell、WilkinsonEyre與著名建築師林中偉領導的香港創智建築師(AGC)有限公司；並成立了顧問委員會，進一步吸納保育專家、學者及演藝名家的寶貴意見。在初步構思中，集團將盡力修復整個戲院建築及俗稱「飛拱」的拋物線型拱橋式桁架設計；並為戲院部分賦予新蘊，建構一個文化藝術表演場所，舉辦嶄新而多元化的國際級文化活動，鞏固香港文化之都的地位。

New World Development is glad to announce the acquisition and the conservation of the State Theatre, a grade 1 historic building, with plans to revitalise the historic site. Adrian Cheng, CEO of New World Development said the Group will do their best to embark the transformation project that is historically and architecturally significant to Asia. “We will do our best to conserve and restore this iconic building to its original glamour and build a cultural oasis that serves the next generation.”

The group has assembled a team of local and international consultants with rich experience in heritage conservation. With British firms WilkinsonEyre and Purcell, as well as Hong Kong-based AGC Design leading the team, the Group also established an advisory committee to gather opinions from conservation experts, scholars and famous performers. In the preliminary conception, New World Development will restore the entire building and the roof truss and turn the State Theatre into a thriving cultural events venue once again to consolidate Hong Kong's status as the cultural capital.
