Sunlight Tower Explained

Sunlight Tower (formerly called MLC Tower or CEF Life Tower[1]) is a 40-storey[2] skyscraper located at 248 Queen's Road East, in the Wan Chai district of Hong Kong. It stands tall and has 40 floors. Designed by Andrew Lee King Fun & Associates,[3] it was completed in 1998.[4]

The building is managed by Henderson Sunlight Asset Management, a subsidiary of Henderson Land Development Hong Kong, a company which also developed the International Finance center.[5]

The MLC in the name stands for Mutual Life & Citizens Assurance Company[6] - an Australian life insurance company formed in 1908.[7] The building was renamed CEF Life tower when, in 1998, six floors of the building were leased out to CEF Life[8] (Canadian Eastern Life assurance, renamed CEF Lend Lease,[9] now owned by Axa Hong Kong[10]), a company partly owned by Li Ka Shing's Cheung Kong holdings.[11]
