The Cullinan I + II ( Chinese 天 璽 / 天 玺 , Pinyin Tiānxǐ , Cantonese Tin1 saai2 ) are two of the tallest skyscrapers in Hong Kong at 270 meters and 68 floors . The buildings were completed in 2008 and are part of the Union Square Complex. Another part of this complex is the International Commerce Center , the tallest skyscraper in Hong Kong at 484 meters.
The buildings named after the Cullinan diamond are primarily used as living space. The purchase prices of the apartments are currently (as of November 2013) at 32,000 Hong Kong dollars per square foot , which corresponds to around 33,000 EUR per square meter.
