We spend a lot of time in Kowloon City and there is a small construction site there that has always caught my interest. Ever since I first noticed it, I could tell they had torn down this old four story building and were planning to put up a tower in it’s place. Instead of ripping down an entire block and putting up a massive tower, they only took out the one building. I have no idea how big the lot size is but it is pretty small. Here’s a view of the site from Google Street View:
I was in Kowloon City on Saturday and took some photos of the skyline and was quite surprised to see a slim 30 story tower sprouting out of that construction site. It really is quite a sight, and I am not sure I have seen anything quite this scale with such a small footprint before.
I did some googling and the place is called Zebrano and has 23 flats one per floor, each under 700sqft.
Here’s a couple of other photos taken that day.
