Monster Building
Dubbed the "Monster Building" as a result of the 5 housing blocks that make up one huge continuous complex. Next to the site there used to be a long nullah by the side of King's Road.
The complex that is seen today was built in the early 1970s. See: https://thebeat.asia/hong-kong/nomads/explore/the-history-behind-monster-building-hong-kongs-coolest-instagram-hotspot
