Abstract
An eight-pointed star rises vertically on the waterfront in the form of an ultratech office tower overlooking Central and Victoria Harbour. Silvery and reflective by day, the monolith transforms into a light show at twilight when its four angular projections morph into cool neon chevrons. This massive office block offers the largest Grade A floorplates in the SAR and is known - simply and authoritatively - as The Center
