One Island East was built in 2008. The whole facade of the building was made of glass which makes the offices bright and clear during day time and the makes the whole building bright and light in the night. Commercial buildings in the east Hong Kong Island are generally only 20 to 40 stories, so One Island East stands out with 70 stories in east Hong Kong. There are two sky lobbies at 37th and 38th floor.[2] People who are going to higher floors of the building can take express elevators which only stop at sky lobbies floor and transfer to local elevators that stop at every floor. The sky lobbies was first used in John Hancock Center at Chicago.[3] The sky lobby can save our time when travelling to higher floor of the building.
