St. John's Building, Commercial skyscraper in Central, Hong Kong
Description
St. John's Building is a commercial tower on Garden Road in Central Hong Kong with 22 floors of office space. The structure houses offices for hundreds of workers from different international companies.
History
The building was completed in 1983 after an earlier residential complex on the site was demolished in the early 1960s. This construction marked a shift from housing to a modern office center.
Culture
The building serves as a major office hub for international companies and connects to the Peak Tram station at street level. This link makes it a key gathering point for commuters and visitors heading up the mountain.
Practical
The building operates weekdays from 8:30 AM to 6:30 PM with multiple fast elevators serving the floors. Visitors should know this is an office center, so access to individual floors may depend on which company you are visiting.
Did you know?
The building received an architectural award from the Hong Kong Institute of Architects shortly after its completion. This recognition marks it as a notable example of 1980s office design in the city.
