Central Crossing

Central Crossing sets two Foster + Partners towers — an office and a hotel — onto the historic urban grid of Central, each divided into a polished stainless-steel-and-glass "high zone" for harbour and Peak views and a textured gold-tone "low zone" for street-level intimacy. The taller office tower carries a full-height illuminated spire projecting a tapering beam of light as a new night-time skyline marker. At ground level, four heritage structures — including one of Hong Kong's oldest surviving shophouses — are woven into the scheme, and a long-lost lane is reopened to reconnect Queen's Road Central with Hollywood Road. Elevated podiums, multi-level pedestrian routes, a link to the Mid-Levels escalators and a four-storey water wall stitch the site into a new public realm anchored by an Andaz hotel.
