The Center is the third tallest skyscraper in Hong Kong after Two International Finance Centre (88 stories) and Central Plaza, Hong Kong.
- Location: Queen's Road, Central.
- MTR station: Sheung Wan.
The 79 story building was completed in 1998. The building stands 350 meters tall.
The Center is notable for its arrangement of hundreds of neon lights arranged as bars in increasing frequency towards the top of the building, which slowly scroll through the colours of the spectrum at night. During the Christmas season, the building's neon arrangement follows a festive motif and resembles a Christmas tree.
The direct translation of the Chinese name of the building is "Central Center", since the building is at the center of the Central district of Hong Kong.
