Ocean Pointe (Chinese: 縉皇居) is a skyscraper in Sham Tseng, New Territories, Hong Kong. The tower rises 54 storeys and 184 metres (604 ft) in height.[2] The building was completed in 2001.[1] It was designed by architectural firm DLN Architects & Engineers, and was developed by Kerry Properties Limited.[2] Ocean Pointe, which stands as the 89th-tallest building in Hong Kong, is composed entirely of residential units,[1] of which it contains 560.[2]

History

The site was originally a Union Carbide depot developed in the 1960s.[3][4][5] The complex was used for chemical storage, warehousing, and materials manufacturing. A latex manufacturing plant opened at the site in March 1977.[6] In the 1990s, the company decided to relocate the Sham Tseng facilities to China, freeing up the site for sale and eventual residential redevelopment.[4]

Kerry Properties won the 99,388 square foot site in a private tender in October 1994.[7] The developer acquired the site in December 1994. In November 1997, the building plans for the new residential complex were approved by the Buildings Department.[8] The first flats were sold in early 2001.[9][10]
