The Summit is a residential skyscraper located in upper Mid-Levels, Hong Kong. It is one of the tallest residential buildings in the city, standing at 2200NaN0 tall, with 65 storeys.[1] Construction of the building began in 1999 and it opened in 2001.[2] Highcliff, another tall skyscraper, stands right next to this building.[3]
Due to the visual effect of its proximity to Highcliff, another very thin and tall building, the two together are often referred to as "The Chopsticks". These two buildings highlight the characters of pencil-thin towers that are highly concentrated in Hong Kong.[4]
