Location: Hong Kong Architect: Ng Chun Man Year: 1992 Height: 374 meters / 1,227 feet Stories: 78 About Central PlazaThe office tower at Central Plaza appears to be triangular, but the three corners are cut off to maximize interior space. The modified triangular shape of the tower enhances views from the offices. A square or rectangular shape would have not offered as many views of the Wanchai waterfront.Learn more about Central Plaza >>World's Tallest BuildingsTall Buildings RankedHow Buildings are MeasuredBest Skyscraper Books More Tall StructuresWorld's Tallest TowersModern ArchitectureSkyscraper Web Sites More Architecture Pictures |
