The International Commerce Centre will be Hong Kong's tallest with 482m height once construction has finished (2010).
Architects: Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates PC; Wong & Ouyang (HK) Ltd.
Info: The final design of this tower was made in 2001 after more than four design proposal changes. The original World's Tallest design (574m with a pyramidal top) was changed, and the new design is by KPF. This tower will form a "gateway" for Victoria Harbour with Two International Finance Centre (2IFC) at the opposite side of the harbour.
A 7-star hotel with 300 rooms will be located near the top portion of the tower on 13 floors. It will also include convention and conference facilities. The 7-star hotel will be the highest elevated hotel in the world, surpassing the Hyatt in Shanghai's Jin Mao Tower.
On Sunday Sept. 13 2009 six workers died in a construction accident in this building when a construction platform inside a lift shaft collapsed
