First generation[edit]
The first Prince's Building was a four-storey Renaissance architecture building in 1904 on land created from the Chater reclamation,[1] located directly south of Queen's Building, completed in 1899. The building was designed by Leigh & Orange[2] and had similarities with the Hong Kong Club Building built in 1897. It was replaced by the present building in 1965.[3]
The first building housed several bank and law firm offices including:
- Yokohama Specie Bank
- Bank of Taiwan
- Banque de l'Indochine
- Deacons
- Johnson Stokes & Master
Second generation[edit]
In 1963 the first building was demolished to make way for the current Prince's Building. It was designed by architecture firm Palmer & Turner. The 29 floor complex is an office and retail complex and is owned by Hongkong Land. It is famous for smaller upmarket boutique style shops. Tenants of the office tower include Mayer Brown JSM, KPMG, and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
The complex borders Statue Square, which it surrounds together with Hong Kong Club Building, Old Supreme Court Building, Mandarin Oriental (former site of Queen's Building) and HSBC Main Building.
