List of tallest buildings in Hong Kong

Victoria Harbour and the Hong Kong skyline at night

Tallest buildings in Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China has at least 7,827 high-rise buildings, with no fewer than 1,294 skyscrapers standing taller than 100 m (328 ft) and at least 315 buildings over 150 m (492 ft) in height. The tallest of these skyscrapers is the 118-storey International Commerce Centre, completed in 2010, which stands 484 m (1,588 ft) and is the ninth tallest building in the world. The total built-up height (combined heights) of these skyscrapers is approximately 333.8 km (207 mi), making Hong Kong the world's tallest urban agglomeration. Furthermore, reflective of the SAR's high population densities, Hong Kong has more people living at the 15th floor or higher, more number of buildings of at least 100 m (328 ft) and 150 m (492 ft) height than any other place in the world.

Most of Hong Kong's high-rise buildings are concentrated in along Hong Kong Island's northern shore, Kowloon, New Kowloon, and in the New Towns (satellite towns) of the New Territories, such as Tuen Mun or Sha Tin. Additional high-rises can be are located on Ap Lei Chau, along Hong Kong Island's southern shoreline and areas in proximity to stations of the Mass Transit Railway (MTR).

The skyline of Hong Kong is considered amongst the best in the world, with the surrounding mountains and Victoria Harbour complementing the skyscrapers. Each evening, at least 44 skyscrapers and buildings on both sides of Victoria Harbour light up in a synchronised show called A Symphony of Lights, named by the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest permanent light and sound festival in the world.

History

The first regarded high-rise in Hong Kong was the third-generation building of the Hong Kong & Shanghai Bank, completed in 1935. The building stood 70 m (230 ft) tall with 13 floors and existed for five decades before being demolished for the construction of the HSBC Main Building. High-rise construction was limited in the early part of the 20th century. However, beginning in the 1970s, Hong Kong experienced a general trend of high-rise building construction that has continued to the present. This trend is in large part a result of the city's rugged, mountainous terrain and lack of flat land. The city entered into a construction boom in 1980, which lasted roughly until 1993. Amongst the buildings built between within the years are Hopewell Centre (1980), Bank of China Tower (1990), and Central Plaza (1992), three of the territory's tallest buildings upon their respective dates of completion.

Beginning in 1998, Hong Kong entered into a second, much larger building boom that lasted until the early 2010s. The second boom saw the inauguration of the International Commerce Centre, the SAR's first, and only building to date with more than 100 floors, Two International Finance Centre, Nina Tower I, and One Island East. At the height of the construction boom, in the years 2003 and 2005 alone, the SAR witnessed the completion of 56 and 28 skyscrapers over 150 m (490 ft) in height, respectively. The proliferation of multi-tower, high-rise building complexes, such as public housing estates and transit-oriented developments at or near MTR stations (known as rail + property development), greatly increased the number of skyscrapers in the SAR.

Unlike previous building trends of the 1980s and early 1990s, many high-rise buildings of the second boom are of residential uses due to a surge in demand for luxury housing properties in Hong Kong. In addition, the closure of the Kai Tak Airport and relaxation of height restrictions on the Kowloon Peninsula allowed many tall skyscrapers to rise in Kowloon, such as Sorrento, Langham Place Office Tower, and The Cullinan, all of which exceed 200 m (656 ft) in height. Skyscrapers also rose out of the New Territories, such as the developments of Metro Town and LOHAS Park in Tseung Kwan O. However, as a result of heightened community awareness of skyscrapers' effects on air circulation (wall effect), air pollution and urban heat island, opposition to tall and broad buildings (skyscraper walls) arose in the latter part of this building boom.

As of October 2015, there are a total of 146 high-rise buildings under construction or planned in Hong Kong.

Notable buildings

• International Commerce Centre (abbreviated ICC), located at 1 Austin Road, West Kowloon. It is owned and jointly developed by MTR Corporation Limited and Sun Hung Kai Properties as Phase 7 of the Union Square Development. Rising 484 m (1,588 ft), the ICC is the tallest building in Hong Kong as well as the 9th tallest building in the world. Notable tenants include Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, Morgan Stanley, ABN-AMRO and Accenture.
• Two International Finance Centre (abbreviated 2IFC), located above the MTR Hong Kong Station at 8 Finance Street, Central. The 2IFC is currently the second tallest building in Hong Kong at 415.8 m (1,364 ft) tall. It became the tallest building in Hong Kong upon its completion in 2003 until it was surpassed by the ICC in 2009. It was built as the second phase of the International Finance Centre commercial development. Notable tenants include UBS, Samsung Electronics, Hong Kong Monetary Authority and BNP Paribas.
• Central Plaza, located at 18 Harbour Road, Wan Chai. The Central Plaza is currently the third tallest building in Hong Kong at a pinnacle height of 373.9 m (1,227 ft). It was the tallest building in Hong Kong when it was built in 1992 until it was surpassed by 2IFC in 2003. The Central Plaza was also the tallest building in Asia from 1992 until 1996, surpassed by Shun Hing Square in Shenzhen. The building is notable for its unique exterior shape as well as its LIGHTIME lighting system. It also houses the world's highest church inside a skyscraper, Sky City Church.
• Bank of China Tower (abbreviated BOC Tower), located at 1 Garden Road, in Central. Designed by the Pritzker Prize-winning Chinese American architect I.M. Pei, the tower is 315 m (1,033 ft) high with two masts reaching 367.4 m (1,205 ft) high. It is currently the fourth tallest building in Hong Kong. It was the tallest building outside of the United States from 1990 to 1992, and was the first building outside of the United States to pass the 305 m (1,001 ft) mark. The exterior design of the building resembles bamboo shoots, symbolizing livelihood and prosperity in Feng Shui.
• Cheung Kong Centre at 2 Queen's Road Central, Central. Standing 282.8 m (928 ft) tall and completed in 1999, this skyscraper is the headquarters of Cheung Kong Holdings. The building's top floor contains a private residence for Cheung Kong Holding's billionaire Chairman Li Ka-Shing.
• The Center, located at 99 Queen's Road Central, Central. Completed in 1998 and standing 346 m (1,135 ft) tall, this building was one of the first large urban renewal projects undertaken by the Land Development Corporation (now Urban Renewal Authority). The skyscraper's unique structure is entirely composed of steel and lacks a reinforced concrete core.
• Hopewell Centre, located at 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai. At 222 m (728 ft) tall, the Hopewell Centre was the tallest building in both Hong Kong and Asia when it was completed in 1980. The building signifies the eastern expansion of Hong Kong's central business district. The Hopewell Centre has a unique cylindrical shaped design with a revolving restaurant on the 62nd level of the building. Designed by Sir Gordon Wu, chairman of Hopewell Holdings, the building serves as the headquarters of his company.
• HSBC Main Building (also known as HSBC Tower), located at 1 Queen's Road Central, Central. The building, standing 178.8 m (587 ft) tall, is the headquarters of HSBC, and is the fourth generation of their headquarters. Designed by the famed British architect Norman Foster, the building took seven years to complete, and is noted as being the most expensive building in the world at completion at HK$5.2 billion (US$668 million) in 1985. Together with Statue Square, the building also serves as a gathering place for thousands of Filipino domestic workers during weekends and holidays.
• Jardine House, (originally called Connaught Centre) located at 1 Connaught Place, Central. Upon completion in 1973, the 178.5 m (586 ft)-tall skyscraper was the tallest building in Hong Kong and Asia. The building features round windows, as opposed to traditional rectangular windows, for a stronger curtain wall and thinner structural frame. These round windows also earned the building a nickname of "The House of a Thousand Arseholes."

Notable abandoned, cancelled and vision projects

This lists notable projects that were abandoned, cancelled or never meant to be built that had a planned height of at least 400 m (1,300 ft).

Name	Height m (ft)	Floors*	Notes
Bionic Tower	1,128 (3,701)	300	A visionary proposal for a vertical city housing at least 100,000 people.
Kowloon MTR Tower	574 (1,883)	102	Original proposal for the Union Square development project in Kowloon was planned to be a candidate for the tallest building in the world. New height restriction laws prohibited buildings from rising taller than surrounding mountains, forcing a reduction in height. Project was also known as Kowloon Station Phase 7. The project now completed as International Commerce Centre.
Original Nina Tower Proposal	518 (1,699)	108	The original proposal for Nina Tower was planned to be the world's tallest building in 1994. The proposal was rejected by the government due to the project's location near a major airway of the newly established Hong Kong International Airport. The as-built tower is literally split in two, with the dominant part being Nina Tower and the smaller part being Teddy Tower.
SAR Government Centre	450 (1,476)	—	Project was moved to the Tamar Site and built as the Central Government Complex.
The Gateway III	405 (1,329)	96	Project was rejected due to conflict with height restriction laws and ultimately cancelled.
Hong Kong Wanchai Tower	400 (1,312)	—

Notes

A.¹ The figure of 315 counts only buildings with known height figures greater than 150 m (492 ft). There are a number of completed buildings that are at least 50 stories tall that do not have height figures listed as seen here [1], here [2] and here [3] on Emporis as well as CTBUH. It is possible but not definite that some of these skyscrapers are taller than 150 m (492 ft); thus, it is safe to only be stated that there are at least 315 buildings that are at least 150 m (492 ft) high.

B.^{1 2} This building was constructed as the Connaught Centre, but has since been renamed Jardine House.

C.¹ Tower numbers may not be assigned sequentially in Hong Kong's multi-tower complexes due to the number 4 and its meaning in Chinese culture. Hence, it is common practice to skip the label "Tower 4" in complexes with four or more actual towers. A building named "Tower 8" in a complex may not imply that there are eight actual towers in said complex. As an example, a complex of six actual towers may have the first trio of towers be assigned Towers 1, 2, 3 and the second trio Towers 5, 6 and 7. The same may occur for large projects that have four or more phases of development.

D.^{1 2 3 4} For groups of two or more interconnected buildings, the height shown refers to the tallest building of the group. The floor count shown refers to that of the tallest building in question.

E.^{1 2 3} Due to common practice of skipping floors with the number 4 (e.g. 4, 14, 24, 34, ... and so on) and 13 in Hong Kong, floors may not be labelled sequentially. Thus a building's total count of actual floors may not be equal to the number of the top floor. As an example, one residential tower has a top floor labelled "88", but contains only 42 actual floors. Sources that state the number of the top floor for a building's floor count may overstate the actual number of floors for the building in question. See numbers in Chinese culture, unlucky 13 and thirteenth floor for more background information.

F.¹ Two height figures were given for the Bionic Tower: 1,128 m (3,701 ft) and 1,228 m (4,029 ft). An official figure has not been determined.

G.¹ One design iteration of the Kowloon MTR Tower has a spire that reached 610 m (2,001 ft) in height.

H.¹ Two height figures were given for the Gateway Tower III: 405 m (1,329 ft) and 450 m (1,476 ft). An official figure has not been determined.
