Opus Hong Kong is a 12-storey, 42.62m (139.83feet) residential high-rise completed in 2012 at 53 Stubbs Road on Mid-Levels in Hong Kong. The project was designed by Frank Gehry in collaboration with Ronald Lu and Partners, and developed by Swire Properties. It was Gehry's first Asian residential project.[3]

The building consists of 12 residential units which range from 560m2640m2, including two duplexes with pools. Additional features on the 3020m2 site include underground parking, swimming pools, gyms, rainwater recycling for irrigation, and electric car charge systems. A 580m2 apartment, taking up the entire eighth floor, became the most expensive apartment in Hong Kong when it was sold for HK$470 million in August 2012.[4]

The British Consul-General to Hong Kong has resided here since 2013.[5]
