Metro Town Phase One, also spelled simply as Metro Town (Chinese: 都會駅), is a residential high-rise development located in the Tseung Kwan O district of the New Territories in Hong Kong, near MTR Tiu Keng Leng Station in Tiu Keng Leng. It is jointly developed by Cheung Kong Holdings, Nan Fung Group and MTR Corporation in 2006.[1][2][3]
The complex consists of four towers,[4] each of which ranks among the tallest buildings in the city. The tallest buildings in the complex are Metro Town Tower 1 and Metro Town Tower 2 (also called Le Point), which both rise 205 metres (673 ft) and 62 floors.[5][6][7] The towers are tied with Four Seasons Place as the 45th-tallest buildings in Hong Kong. Towers 3 and 5 rise 188 metres (617 ft) and 57 floors,[8][9] standing as the 76th-tallest buildings in the city and tied in rank with One and Two Exchange Square. The entire complex was completed in 2006.[4] Metro Town is planned to contain 10 skyscrapers, but as of 2008 only the four towers of Phase One have been constructed.[10] This first phase of the project contains 1,676 residential units.[4]
