This 56-floor tower in Grand Millennium Plaza puts two forces that shaped modern Hong Kong under one roof: COSCO's ocean freight empire and the Urban Renewal Authority, the body rebuilding the city around it. Completed in 1998, it stands 228 m tall on western Hong Kong Island.
What to look for
- The 228 m profile rising above Grand Millennium Plaza on the western Hong Kong Island skyline
- COSCO and COSCO Shipping International signage — the tenants that give the tower its name and purpose
- Urban Renewal Authority signage — the city-rebuilding body sharing the tower with a global shipping giant
Office tower with no public viewing floor; best seen from street level as part of a western Hong Kong Island walk. Developed by the Land Development Corporation.

More to see in Hong Kong
- International Commerce CentreAt 484 m, this is the only building in Hong Kong with more than 100 floors — and it had to be trimmed down so it wouldn't overtop the surrounding mountains.
- Bank of China TowerThe first skyscraper outside the United States to break 1,000 feet — its glass triangles cut the Central skyline unlike anything around it.
- Central PlazaA four-bar neon clock 374 metres above Wan Chai changes colour every 15 minutes, blinking at each quarter-hour change.
- Hong Kong DisneylandThe only Disneyland where a walkway was deliberately bent so good qi energy would not drain into the South China Sea.
- The CenterAfter dark, hundreds of neon bars scroll slowly through the full color spectrum from base to crown — a light show wired into the steel itself.
- Tsing Ma BridgeThe span that ended Lantau Island's water-only isolation — 1,377 metres of road and rail hung from two towers.
