StarCrest, Residential complex in Wan Chai, Hong Kong

StarCrest (星域軒) is a residential development at the junction of Sing Street and Man Mo Lane in Wan Chai, Hong Kong. It consists of two towers of 30 and 27 storeys with 329 units, including four duplexes of about 1,902 sq ft. Facilities include an outdoor pool, steam room, golf simulator, table tennis room, gymnastics room, gym and podium garden.

The complex was completed by Swire Properties in 1999 and was one of the early upscale housing developments in this part of Wan Chai. The neighborhood around it has shifted noticeably toward residential use since then.

The name StarCrest pairs the Chinese 星域 (star field) with an English word, and the address at Sing Street and Man Mo Lane places it in Wan Chai's Star Street area, a cluster of cafés and boutiques near St. Francis Street known as Wan Chai Soho. The 329 flats, from 729 to 1,172 sq ft, plus four 1,902 sq ft duplexes, house a mix of local and expatriate residents.

StarCrest stands at the junction of Sing Street and Man Mo Lane in Wan Chai, a five-minute drive from Central and Wan Chai. Admiralty and Wan Chai MTR stations are within walking distance, and buses, minibuses and trams run along Queen's Road East and Hennessy Road. The pool, steam room, golf simulator and other facilities serve residents only.

The building sits right next to Pacific Place, one of Hong Kong's best-known shopping centers, which residents can reach on foot from home. This kind of direct access to a major retail hub is unusual even for central Wan Chai.
