Metro Town Phase One, often abbreviated to Metro Town (Chinese: 都會駅), is a private residential high-rise development located in the Tseung Kwan O district of the New Territories in Hong Kong, near the MTR station in Tiu Keng Leng. It was a joint development by Cheung Kong Holdings, Nan Fung Group and MTR Corporation, which began in 2006.[1][2][3]

The complex consists of four towers,[4] each of which ranks among the tallest buildings in the city. The tallest buildings in the complex are Metro Town Tower 1 and Metro Town Tower 2 (also called Le Point), which both rise 205 metres (673 ft) and have 62 floors.[5][6][7] The towers are tied with Four Seasons Place as the 45th-tallest buildings in Hong Kong. Towers 3 and 5 rise 188 metres (617 ft) and have 57 floors,[8][9] standing as the 76th-tallest buildings in the city and tied in rank with One and Two Exchange Square. The entire complex was completed in 2006.[4] Metro Town is planned to contain ten skyscrapers, but as of 2008 only the four towers of Phase One have been constructed.[10] This first phase of the project contains 1,676 residential units.[4]
