THE CENTER

73 stories
Completed: 1998
15th tallest building in the world

Two International Finance Centre, CITIC Plaza, Shun Hing Square,

Emirates Office Tower, Tuntex Sky Tower, and Aon Tower)


The Center (346m/1,135f, 73 stories, 1998), currently Hong Kong's 4rd tallest.
Without the spire on top the building would 'only' be 302m/991f tall.
At night, a neon system consisting of nearly 9.000 tubes give this building a slowly changing coloured light-show.
This complex computer controlled system allows for 175 different displays.
