Prince's Building, Commercial skyscraper in Central, Hong Kong, China
Prince's Building is a 27-storey tower at 10 Chater Road in Central, designed by Palmer & Turner and completed in 1965. Its white upper facade has a dense grid of recessed dark windows under a crown of vertical fins, above a beige stone base where gold lettering reads "PRINCE'S BUILDING". The five-level base holds the Landmark Prince's mall.
The current building was completed in 1965, replacing an earlier structure from 1904 that once stood on this site. This replacement marked how Hong Kong's financial district transformed during the mid-twentieth century as modern towers replaced older buildings.
The building houses international luxury brands and professional offices that show Hong Kong's role in global business. Daily, you see professionals and shoppers moving through its spaces, reflecting the city's busy commercial life.
The building connects to Alexandra House and Mandarin Oriental through elevated walkways, making it easy to reach other locations without crossing busy streets. These connections let visitors navigate the area smoothly and access multiple destinations.
This structure introduced Hong Kong's first air-conditioned pedestrian bridge, setting a new standard for urban connections in the region. This innovation made walking between buildings more comfortable, especially on hot and humid days.
