Revenue Tower, Government skyscraper in Wan Chai, Hong Kong
The Revenue Tower is a government office building in Wan Chai with 49 floors housing administrative departments and staff. A sky lobby on the 38th floor manages elevator access and circulation throughout the structure.
The building opened in 1990 as Wanchai Tower III before receiving its current name in 1991. The renaming coincided with the relocation of the Inland Revenue Department to this location.
The tower shares the government precinct with its companion structure, creating a unified administrative zone where thousands of civil servants work daily. Both buildings define the skyline of this busy district and serve as landmarks for locals navigating the area.
The tower sits at 5 Gloucester Road in a busy government precinct that is easily accessible on foot. The neighborhood has good public transportation links, making it simple to visit or pass by the location.
The building allowed the government to save substantial costs by consolidating scattered offices into a single location from earlier distributed sites. This consolidation step was an important part of modernizing Hong Kong's administrative infrastructure.
