Eight South Lane

Eight South Lane, Residential tower in Kennedy Town, Hong Kong.

Eight South Lane is a 25-storey single-block private residential tower at 8 South Lane in Shek Tong Tsui, developed by New World Development, with occupation from December 2015. It has five units per floor and 95 flats in total, mostly one-bedroom with open kitchens and 19 open-plan units. The glass curtain wall was designed by Florent Nédélec's team.

Kennedy Town developed in the late 19th century as a working and industrial district at the far western end of Hong Kong Island. From the 2000s onward, older structures gave way to new residential towers, and Eight South Lane, completed in 2015 by New World Development, was part of that wave of change.

The building's name comes from its address at 8 South Lane, known in Chinese as 南里8號. Its ground floors housed Cobo House by 2am:dessertbar, opened by Singapore pastry chef Janice Wong, and the Artisan Room café, which held a 3.5-foot-tall Dutch Lab aluminium cold-drip coffee maker. Both closed in mid-2020, and New World sold the shop spaces in January 2023.

The building stands on South Lane in Shek Tong Tsui, served by HKU MTR station (Exit B2), about a one-minute walk from the entrance. The surrounding streets are narrow and slope uphill, so the area is best covered on foot.

Like many buildings across Hong Kong, this tower skips floors 4, 13, 14, and 24, even though it officially stands 23 floors tall. The number 4 sounds similar to the word for death in Cantonese, so developers routinely leave it out of floor numbering.
