Island Resort, Residential skyscraper complex in Siu Sai Wan, Hong Kong.
Description
Island Resort is a residential skyscraper complex in Siu Sai Wan with four main towers standing 202 meters tall and containing 3,098 apartments. Shopping facilities occupy the lower levels, serving the everyday needs of residents and visitors to the development.
History
Sino Land acquired this site in 1997 as one of the last major land sales before Hong Kong transitioned to Chinese governance. The development was constructed during a period of significant urban growth in the territory.
Culture
The towers skip certain floor numbers like 13, 14, 24, 34, 44, and 54 following Chinese beliefs about fortune and luck. You'll notice these omissions when riding the elevators or looking at the directory panels throughout the complex.
Practical
The complex features a three-level clubhouse offering tennis courts, basketball courts, bowling lanes, swimming pools, and study areas. These facilities are primarily available to residents and provide recreational options within the development.
Did you know?
The development emerged during Hong Kong's pivotal shift in political and economic circumstances, capturing the architecture of that transition period. Its waterfront location represented newly opening opportunities for residential growth in what was then an emerging neighborhood.
