Located at 191 Java Road. According to their website :
Completed in 1991 as the headquarters of K. Wah Real Estates and the companies of K. Wah Group, this 30-storey waterfront tower is the first and only Grade-A office building in Hong Kong to have a private pier.
It is easily distinguishable from other buildings by its turquoise colour.
Hi all
Does anyone know what happened to United laundries it was located at North Point HK in the 70s. The business was sold in 1978.

Hi
I recently moved to North Point and couldn't help notice that MTR exit B2 (the one leading to MacDonalds) has a massive metallic door (about ten inches thick!). That's totally odd, considering that other exits are protected with a simple metallic curtain, one of which is even installed behind the big door...
My first assumption was that there might have been a bank on the other side and this could have been a vault's door, but then I realised that the lock is apparently on the MTR side, not on the shop's side.
The New Ritz Hotel was designed by Su Gin Djih who was the architect for a number of buildings in the 1950s and 1960s including the New Ambassador Hotel in TST. http://218.188.25.84/news_attach_file/41_04.pdf
according to 1958 Far Eastern Economic Review address was 893-899 King's Road.
You may have heard that New World Development has purchased all units of several building blocks on Kai Yuen Upper & Lower Lane, up on a hill well tucked in from the hustle and bustle of North Point, behind Tsat Tze Mui Road intersecting with Tin Chiu Street.
Hi there,
This was a twin pier which allow two double deckers to load or unload at the same time.
Best Regards,
