在1990年，大樓被香港政府的古物古蹟辦事處列為香港法定古蹟。1991年，由土地發展公司（今市區重建局）把大樓進行全面修葺，並容許當年10多個於中環永安街（即花布街）商戶遷入西港城二樓，每戶獲賠數百萬元。自此成為具有香港文化特色的傳統行業及工藝品中心，管理有限期為21年。在2003年由市區重建局再進行活化工程，增添主題餐廳及幾家特色商店。SPD4459 Central & Western DistrictSPD4459 Central & Western DistrictSPD4459 Central & Western DistrictSPD4459 Central & Western DistrictSPD4459 Central & Western DistrictSPD4459 Central & Western DistrictSPD4459 Central & Western DistrictSPD4459 Central & Western District
Urban Renewal Authority (URA) (The former Land Development Corporation) converted the market into a centre of traditional traders, arts and crafts in 1991 and renamed it as "the Western Market".

不過到了2012年1月，明報獨家報道市建局管理西港城期限將於2月1日屆滿。發展局證實，與市建局達成共識，批准延長局方管理西港城多3 年，其間作大規模復修勘察，西港城未來用途要再諮詢公眾。但由於市建局需向地政總署繳交市值租金，未來3年商戶的租金皆有所調升，3年後會否要求布商遷出仍是未知之數SPD4459 Central & Western DistrictSPD4459 Central & Western DistrictSPD4459 Central & Western DistrictSPD4459 Central & Western DistrictSPD4459 Central & Western DistrictSPD4459 Central & Western DistrictSPD4459 Central & Western DistrictSPD4459 Central & Western DistrictSPD4459 Central & Western DistrictSPD4459 Central & Western DistrictSPD4459 Central & Western District
Under an innovative management whereby the Manager will be legally bounded to manage the maintenance of the historical building standard while having a free hand to decide on the tenant mix and its sub-lease terms and conditions of the market. The Manager also guarantees URA a minimum return plus a turn-over sharing provision. Since then, the maintenance cost of Western Market is no longer a burden of the government but with a guaranteed return.SPD4459 Central & Western DistrictSPD4459 Central & Western DistrictSPD4459 Central & Western DistrictSPD4459 Central & Western DistrictSPD4459 Central & Western DistrictSPD4459 Central & Western DistrictSPD4459 Central & Western DistrictSPD4459 Central & Western DistrictSPD4459 Central & Western District
