This is a close up view of the King Star bar.

One can see the Fleming flyover which was built between 1969 and 1970 and opened jul 1 1970. The building west of the flyover had been demolished. A photo showing the new building east of the 味の素 sign in 1971 can be found here https://gwulo.com/media/43185

The new building was called kwong ming building according to HKmapviewer. The part next to the flyover was still vacant.

This 1975 map shows that the site next to the flyover was still occupied by the old building

This air view in 1979 shows kwong ming building, the vacant site and flyover.

The 1982 air view shows that the vacant site had been filled up with a new building

That means the date should be between 1975 and 1982.

By the way one can see the harbour hotel too.
