Immigration Tower, Government skyscraper in Wan Chai, Hong Kong
Immigration Tower is a government office building in Wan Chai rising 181 meters across 49 floors with an all-glass exterior wall. The structure houses administrative workspaces designed with open layouts to accommodate the departments managing population records and residency matters.
The building opened in January 1990 and consolidated government offices that were previously scattered across multiple locations. This centralization of administrative functions brought together departments managing population records into a single modern facility.
The Immigration Department vault within the tower maintains records since 1873, documenting generations of births and deaths throughout Hong Kong's population.
The building connects directly to Wan Chai MTR station through a pedestrian bridge, making arrival straightforward for most visitors. Public access points are located at ground level and on the first floor.
The tower features a sky lobby on the 38th floor that manages elevator traffic for the building's upper sections. This design solution helps reduce wait times and improves movement efficiency for people working or visiting the higher floors.
