The Henderson is a skyscraper under construction in Central, Hong Kong. The 36-storey building will rise to a height of 190 metres (623 feet).[1] It is designed by Zaha Hadid Architects.[2] The site at 2 Murray Road was reportedly the world's most expensive plot, worth US$3 billion, when it was purchased by developer Henderson Land Development in 2017, leading to the demolishment of the car park at the site.[3][4][5] Construction began in 2019 and is expected to be completed in 2024.
