Pedder Building, Commercial building in Central, Hong Kong

The Pedder Building is a nine-storey commercial building at 12 Pedder Street in Central, Hong Kong, designed by Palmer and Turner and completed in 1924. Its narrow site measures 14 by 50 metres, and the facade combines stone cladding with Neo-classical arches, columns, mouldings and sculpted medallions. A mezzanine and a basement add to the nine floors, and the building stands 35 metres above street level.

Designed by Palmer and Turner, the building was completed in 1924, the same year as its neighbours the China Building and Queen's Theatre. It was first owned by So Shek Chung, passed to Ng Wah in 1926, and was bought in 1962 by Tai Kee Leong Co. Ltd, owned by Fok Ying-tung. It was listed as a Grade II historic building in 1981 and upgraded to Grade I on 10 September 2020.

The building's name comes from Pedder Street, itself named after Lieutenant William Pedder, Hong Kong's first harbour master. From 2011, galleries such as Hanart TZ Gallery (2011–2020) moved in, making it Central's first vertical gallery building. Today upper floors hold fashion shops and art exhibition spaces, while the 1st to 3rd floors became the private club Club Bâtard in late 2024.

The building sits on Pedder Street in Central and is within walking distance of several MTR exits. Because each floor is narrow, the space fills quickly during events, so it is worth planning ahead before visiting.

The footprint of each floor is only about 14 meters wide and around 50 meters long, giving the building one of the narrowest shapes for a structure of its height in the area. Bronze figures and gargoyle masks that once decorated the facade were taken down in the 1990s over safety concerns, leaving the exterior noticeably plainer than it was originally.
