Eight South Lane, Residential tower in Kennedy Town, Hong Kong.
Eight South Lane is a residential tower in Kennedy Town with 23 floors housing 95 apartments, averaging about 5 units per level in a contemporary architectural style. The individual units range from roughly 26 to 30 square meters, offering a mix of compact and slightly more spacious options.
The project was completed in 2015 through New World Development, marking the beginning of a modern residential phase in this section of South Lane. This completion showed how the neighborhood had transformed into a new development site.
The building reflects Kennedy Town's shift from a traditional residential area to a neighborhood where local residents and international visitors coexist. The way people use shared spaces shows this blend of older and newer ways of living.
The building sits about a 2-minute walk from an MTR station, making it easy to access other parts of the city. Visitors should know the area is very densely developed and is best explored on foot.
The building follows local number superstitions by skipping floors 4, 13, 14, and 24, even though the total height counts 23 levels. This practice is common throughout Hong Kong and shows how cultural traditions persist in modern construction projects.
