St George's Building, Commercial building in Central, Hong Kong

St George's Building is a 25-storey office tower at 2 Ice House Street in Central, Hong Kong. Its main facade is divided by closely spaced vertical fins in dark bronze-brown metal, with recessed glass behind them; the fins end in pointed, downward-facing tips above the ground floor. Behind and above rises a section clad in darker glass panels, and a blue-tinted glass facade with vertical mullions faces the side street.

The site's first building, St. George's House, was completed in 1904 and was built and owned by Hong Kong Land, not the Kadoorie family. It was demolished and replaced in 1969 by the present 25-storey St. George's Building. Kadoorie-linked firms later took offices in the new tower, among them CLP Holdings on the 19th floor and Kadoorie Brothers on the 22nd.

St George's Building sits in Central and is home to law firms, insurance companies, and financial services providers. Walking past during the day, you will notice a steady flow of suited professionals, which reflects the working rhythm of the whole district.

The building is a short walk from both Hong Kong and Central MTR stations, making it easy to reach by public transit. Several bus routes also stop nearby, so getting here from other parts of the city is straightforward.

When it opened in 1969, this was among the first office towers in Hong Kong to use aluminum curtain-wall construction. That method allowed for lighter structures and shorter build times, and it went on to influence many later office projects across the city.
