Sited at Union Square at Kowloon Station, West Kowloon, this distinctive 118-storey mixed-use mega-tower has been designed by world-renowned architects, Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, and is being constructed in phases. Occupancy is scheduled to commence as early as the first quarter of 2008, with the tower's completion expected in 2010.

ICC's latest wave of new tenants represents a broad range of industries which highlights the fact that the mega-tower has become the preferred business address to numerous international corporations. The addition of these prestigious new tenants affirms ICC's emerging position as a leading commercial building in the city. It also underlines Sun Hung Kai Properties' determination to further enhance Hong Kong's established status of a global commercial hub.

"Hong Kong's business district has been expanding outward. ICC seized this opportunity and successfully attracted a myriad of prestigious tenants. It clearly demonstrates the importance of ICC as an outstanding business address. At ICC, we deliver an ideal office environment for all kinds of business with unparalleled connectivity. ICC sits right above a transportation mega-hub and we are proud to introduce leading-edge technological features in our office premises," said Mr. Lo King Wai, Deputy General Manager of Sun Hung Kai Real Estate Agency. "It has always been our objective to attract diversified tenants from a broad range of industries. We believe that this tenant mix is representative of Hong Kong's position as a vibrant business destination which not only matters greatly to the Pearl River Delta region, but to the whole world as well."

ICC embodies exceptional building and infrastructure specifications, management services and on-site hotel and accommodation in one single convenient package. It offers practicality and prestige, functionality and style to prospective tenants. Soon to open at the development are the new Ritz-Carlton Hotel, luxury serviced suite hotel The HarbourView Place, and Hong Kong's inaugural W Hotel. Together with Hong Kong's largest shopping mall Elements with its wide ranging food and beverage facilities, guests and tenants at ICC can practically enjoy the luxury of everything within a few minutes' reach.

"We are proud to welcome all these new tenants to ICC. While there has been a great deal of attention paid only to certain headline tenancies to date, we would take this opportunity to note that ICC is an ideal location for all kinds of business, whether financial or otherwise, large or small, and with varying space requirements. Moreover, no other harbour-side development in Hong Kong offers the same quality, convenience, range of services and amenities, or spectacular views as ICC does.
