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. Developed by Wing Tai Properties and CSI Properties on the Urban Renewal Authority's Peel Street/Graham Street site, it is the first Grade A office development built on a heritage site among URA projects. 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 Andaz Hong Kong Central, the brand's first hotel in the city.
