Canton Road Government Offices

Canton Road Government Offices, Government building in Yau Tsim Mong District, Hong Kong.

The Canton Road Government Offices was a 14-storey government office building at 393 Canton Road in West Kowloon, completed in 1971. It housed offices of the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department and other government departments. The building was permanently closed in November 2010 and demolished from December 2010.

Built in 1971 at 393 Canton Road in West Kowloon, the 14-storey block was among Hong Kong's earliest government office towers and housed departments including the Agriculture and Fisheries Department. After the Cheung Sha Wan Government Offices opened on 28 July 2000 it stood largely empty, and from June 2005 four and a half floors served as the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation's Kowloon Southern Link office. It closed permanently in November 2010 and was demolished from December 2010; on 3 January 2011 a fire during demolition was raised to No. 3 alarm at 12:45 pm and largely put out at 1:51 pm.

The building's name came from Canton Road, the street it faced at number 393 in West Kowloon. Its later life reflected changing public needs: from 2005 about four and a half floors housed the KCR Kowloon Southern Link project office, and in 2001 a "Super Digital Centre" opened inside before closing on 21 October 2004. The post office on the site shut on 31 December 2007.

The building no longer exists: it was permanently closed in November 2010 and demolished from December 2010, so there is nothing to visit at 393 Canton Road. The site was redeveloped as The Austin, the residential project above Austin MTR station named in June 2013. Look for the station instead.

The building was permanently closed in November 2010 and demolished from December 2010. On 3 January 2011, during demolition, a fire broke out at 12:15 pm and was upgraded to a No. 3 alarm at 12:45 pm, before being largely extinguished at 1:51 pm. The site was later redeveloped as The Austin, a property project above Austin MTR station, named in June 2013.
