Sham Wan Towers, Modern skyscraper in Hong Kong, China.

Sham Wan Towers is a residential estate of three joined towers on Ap Lei Chau, each 180 metres tall, with Towers 1 and 2 at 52 floors and Tower 3 at 53. The pale grey-blue facades are covered in rows of small square windows and recessed balconies, separated by dark vertical channels. A broad beige stone and glass podium with a planted edge sits at the base, before a green hillside.

Construction began in 2002 by Sun Hung Kai Properties Limited and the complex opened in 2003 to address housing demand in Hong Kong. This project was part of a broader wave of high-rise residential development across the Southern District during the early 2000s.

The name Sham Wan Towers refers to the Deep Bay facing the complex. Tower 3 alone has balconies, and the podium holds a seafront infinity pool and a three-storey residents' clubhouse. The estate has attracted celebrity owners such as singer Joey Yung and actress Charmaine Sheh.

The estate stands at 3 Ap Lei Chau Drive, north of Hong Kong True Light College and beside Marina South. Residents reach MTR Lei Tung station on the South Island Line via a nearby foot tunnel or footbridge to Exit A2; the tunnel has lifts linking Ap Lei Chau Main Street and Ap Lei Chau Bridge Road. It is private housing, so only the podium and its planted edge are open to passers-by.

All three towers reach 180 metres, but floor counts differ: Towers 1 and 2 have 52 floors while Tower 3 has 53, and only Tower 3 includes balconies. The site was first awarded as a mixed public-private housing scheme before the government cancelled the programme in 2002, leaving Sun Hung Kai to sell all units privately.
