This list of tallest buildings in Hong Kong ranks buildings in the special administrative region (SAR) of Hong Kong by height. Hong Kong (Chinese: 香港) is an international financial centre that has 112 buildings that stand taller than 180 metres (591 ft). The tallest building in Hong Kong is the 118-storey International Commerce Centre, which was completed in 2010 and rises 484 metres (1588 feet). It also stands as the 2nd-tallest building in People's Republic of China and 4th-tallest building in the world. The second-tallest building in Hong Kong is the 88-story Two International Finance Centre, rising at 416 metres (1364 feet) which stands as the 5th tallest all-office building in the world as well as the 5th tallest building in the People's Republic of China. The third tallest building of the city, 78-story Central Plaza which had been the tallest building in Hong Kong for more than 10 years —- from 1992 to 2003. It contains Sky City Church, the highest church in the world located inside a skyscraper.[1] The fourth-tallest building in the city is the 70-story Bank of China Tower, rising 367 m (1,204 ft) high and designed by famed architect I. M. Pei. The Bank of China Tower is the first skyscraper outside the United States to stand taller than 305 m (1,000 ft) in height.[2]

The high-rise that have been constructed in Hong Kong are spread throughout the special administrative region, but most are concentrated in an area stretching from Tsuen Wan in the west across the Kowloon Peninsula to Yau Tong in the east and on the north shore of Hong Kong Island. New towns like Tseung Kwan O, Sha Tin, Tai Po, Fanling, Yuen Long and Tuen Mun in the rural-suburban New Territories region also contain large clusters of high-rises. Several communities on the south shore of Hong Kong Island, including Pok Fu Lam, Aberdeen and Repulse Bay, contain significant numbers of high-rises. Two small islands, Tsing Yi and Ap Lei Chau, are also home to several skyscrapers. The only two places on Lantau Island that contain skyscrapers are Tung Chung and Discovery Bay.[3] Hong Kong ranks first in the world in both skyscraper and high-rise count, with at least 52 skyscrapers completed skyscrapers over height of 200 m (656 ft)[4], 272[B]skyscrapers over 150 m (492 ft)[5], as well as more than 7,687 highrise buildings.[6][7]

In addition, Hong Kong's skyline is often considered to be the best in the world[8], with the surrounding mountains and Victoria Harbour complementing the skyscrapers.[9][7][10][11] Every night, many 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.[12]

As of February 2011, there are a total of 161 high-rises listed as under construction, approved for construction, and proposed for construction in Hong Kong.[13]

History

The history of skyscrapers in Hong Kong began in 1935 with the completion of the Hong Kong & Shanghai Bank building, which is regarded as the first high-rise in the city. The building stood 70 m (230 ft) tall with 13 floors and existed for six decades before being demolished for the construction of the HSBC Main Building.[14] High-rise construction was limited in the early part of the 20th century, but beginning in the 1970s, Hong Kong experienced widespread building construction that has continued to the present; this boom is in large part a result of the city's rugged, mountainous terrain and lack of flat land.[15][16] The city entered into a building boom from 1980 to 1993, during which 22 of the city's 112 tallest buildings were constructed, including the Hopewell Centre, Bank of China Tower, and Central Plaza.[1][2][17]

Beginning in 1998, Hong Kong entered into a second, much larger building boom that has continued to the present. In an ten-year span between 2000 and 2010, more than 85 buildings taller than 180 m (591 ft) were completed, including several of the tallest skyscrapers in the city such as International Commerce Centre, Two International Finance Centre, Nina Tower I, and One Island East.[18][9][19][20] Unlike the previous building trend of the 1980s and early 1990s, most of the buildings completed beginning the 21st century are for residential purposes, due to a surge in demand for luxury housing properties in Hong Kong. Also, the city saw many skyscrapers rise out of Kowloon, notably the Sorrento, the Langham Place Office Tower, and the Cullinan Towers, all of which exceed 200 metres (656 ft) in height.[21][22][23] This was due to the closure of the Kai Tak Airport located to the northeast, which lifted height restrictions across Kowloon, allowing taller buildings to be built in the region.[24]

Significant buildings

  • 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 307m (1184.1 ft) high with two masts reaching 360.9m (1184.1 ft) high. It is currently the fourth tallest building in Hong Kong. It is the tallest building outside of United States from 1989 to 1992, and is the first building outside of the United States to pass the 305m (1000 ft) mark. The exterior design of the building resembles bamboo shoot, symbolizing livelihood and prosperity in Feng Shui.

Notable stale proposal, cancelled and vision projects

Due to an increasing concerns on potential environmental threads demonstrated by supertall skyscrapers (such as wall effect), numerous height restriction laws are applied to proposed or in some cases, approved projects during recent history. For this reason, many developers are forced to either modify or cancel their projects.


Name Height
m / feet 		Floors Notes Refs
Bionic Tower 1,228 / 4,029 300 Vision. Vertical city for housing 100,000+ people. [236][237]
Kowloon MTR Tower 574 / 1,883 102 Abandoned proposal. Original proposal for the Union Square development project in Kowloon, and was planned to be the candidate for the tallest building in the world. The project now completed as International Commerce Centre. [238]
Original Nina Tower Proposal 518 / 1699 108 Abandoned proposal. This is the original proposal for the current Nina Towers to be the world's tallest building in 1994. The proposal was rejected by the government due to being in the major airway of the newly-established Hong Kong International Airport. The proposed tower is literally split in half, with the dominant being the current Nina Tower and the other Teddy Tower. [239][240]
SAR Government Center 450 / 1,476 - Abandoned proposal. Project is now moved to the Tamar Site as Central Government Complex [241]
The Gateway III[C] 405 / 1,329 96 Rejected proposal. The project is rejected due to the height restriction law. It is ultimately cancelled and is never built. [242][243][244]
Hong Kong Wanchai Tower 400 / 1,312 - Cancelled [245][246][247]

Notes

A.^ Hong Kong has six completed skyscrapers taller than 300 metres (984 ft), Chicago has six and Dubai has four. Source: SkyscraperPage: Hong Kong, Chicago, Dubai.
B.^ The figure 272 counts only buildings with known height figures greater than 150 m (492 ft). There are a number of completed buildings ranging from 50 to 63 stories tall that do not have height figures listed as seen here, here and here 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 272 buildings that are at least 150 m (492 ft) high.
C.^ Two height figures are given for the Gateway Tower III: 405 m (1,329 ft) and 450 m (1,476 ft). An official figure from the developer has not yet been released.
D.^ This building was constructed as the Connaught Centre, but has since been renamed Jardine House.
