The Cullinan is the sixth phase of the Kowloon Station residential development, and the tallest residential building in Hong Kong. [1] It is like a twin towel. The two divided towers of the Cullinan complex are called The Cullinan North Tower and The Cullinan South Tower. The developer of the complex is Sun Hung Kai Properties, a major properties developer in Hong Kong and a leader in the real estate industry. The Cullinan Tower has all glass curtainwalls, which gives it the modern look. It shows an innovative and futuristic image together with all the other modern buildings on the Union Square. Also, the Cullinan Tower has a sweeping view of the Victoria Harbor, which makes it more popular among all the residential skyscrapers in Hong Kong. The Cullinan Tower is built for the richest people in Hong Kong, and it becomes the symbol of luxury. According to Time magazine, it "could well qualify as the world's most expensive apartments." [2]
