The highrise building on the left (still under construction) will, when it's finished,
become the tallest building in Hong Kong.

The following info is from Wikipedia.
International Commerce Centre (traditional Chinese: ‹f՜A) (abbr. ICC) is a 118 story, 484 m (1,587.9 ft.) skyscraper under construction in West Kowloon, Hong Kong; as part of the Union Square project built on top of Kowloon Station. The development is owned and jointly developed by MTR Corporation Limited and Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP); Hong Kong's metro operator and largest property developer respectively.

Its formal development name is Union Square Phase 7; and the name International Commerce Centre was officially announced in 2005. Upon completion by 2010, the skyscraper will become Hong Kong's tallest building and will have the fourth highest roof in the world, after the Burj Dubai complex, Chicago Spire, and Shanghai World Financial Center.

SHKP, together with another major Hong Kong developer, Henderson Land, also co-developed the current record holder for Hong Kong's tallest building, 2 IFC; located directly across Victoria Harbour in Central, Hong Kong Island.
