Union Square Phase 7

Union Square Phase 7 is the formal name of a skyscraper under construction in Hong Kong. It has also been known as MTR Tower, after owner MTR Corporation. MTR is also owner of the International Finance Centre that Union Square 7 will surpass as Hong Kong's tallest building when completed in 2007. The two buildings stand directly across the harbor from each other.

The height has been scaled back from earlier plans but the roof is still set to reach 474 m (1,555 feet), taller than the latticework and upper observation deck of the proposed Freedom Tower in New York, though shorter than the Shanghai World Financial Center or the spires of the Freedom Tower or Taipei 101.
