CITIC Tower, Office building in Admiralty, Hong Kong
CITIC Tower is a modern office building in Hong Kong's financial district featuring a sleek glass and steel facade marked by geometric patterns. It rises 33 stories and connects the ground floor plaza directly to surrounding pedestrian walkways and transportation hubs.
CITIC Tower was completed in 1997 under a fast-track development programme, developed by a consortium including CITIC Pacific, CITIC Group, Kerry Trading and DBS Bank. It was designed by P&T Group and built by the Japanese contractor Kumagai Gumi. In 2013 it became the first building in Hong Kong with an LED media facade, covering 300 windows over 2,500 square metres.
CITIC Tower takes part in A Symphony of Lights, the nightly light show staged on both sides of Victoria Harbour. In December 2013 it gained Hong Kong's first LED media facade made of lights: 2,500 square metres covering 300 windows, the city's largest outdoor LED sign. The tower's name comes from its main owner, CITIC Pacific.
Multiple elevator banks serve different floor zones, providing efficient access throughout the building. The open ground level connects smoothly with public sidewalks and transit stops, making it easy to reach and navigate.
