The Masterpiece ( Chinese 名鑄 / 名铸 , Pinyin Míngzhù , Jyutping Ming ⁴ zyu ³ ) is a skyscraper with 64 floors (above ground) - additional 4 basement floors - and 257 meters in height in Tsim Sha Tsui (TST) - an expensive shopping mile in the densely populated Yau Tsim Mong District - Hong Kong . It houses the six-storey K11 shopping center on the lower floors and in the basement. The 381-room Hyatt Regency Hong Kong, located from floors 3 through 24, opened on October 2, 2009. 345 “luxury” residential units occupy the 27th to 67th floors.

The project was carried out jointly by New World Development (78.8% stake) and the Hong Kong "Authority for Urban Renewal and Development" - Urban Renewal Authority (URA, 市區重建局 / 市区重建 , 21.2% stake) - developed. The building, along with other URA projects in the city, has been criticized for destroying the architectural heritage in Tsim Sha Tsui and adding to the further gentrification of the city, displacing the local less affluent.
