Hong Kong, February 3, 2026 – UBS (the “Bank”) today celebrated the official handover of UBS Tower, its new Hong Kong office located at the International Gateway Centre (“IGC”) in West Kowloon. Developed by Sun Hung Kai Properties (“SHKP”), UBS Tower reflects the Bank’s long-term commitment to Hong Kong and is expected to open its doors in the fourth quarter of 2026.
The handover ceremony was officiated by Mr Iqbal Khan, President, UBS Asia Pacific; Co‑President, UBS Global Wealth Management; Mrs Amy Lo, Chairman UBS Global Wealth Management Asia and Head and Chief Executive of UBS Hong Kong; Mr Taichi Takahashi, Co-Head of Investment Bank, Asia Pacific & Global Head of Digital Assets for Investment Bank, UBS; Mr Steve Barclay, Head Human Resources APAC & Human Resources Business Partner Group HR & Corporate Services, UBS; Mr Raymond Kwok, Chairman and Managing Director of Sun Hung Kai Properties; Mr Christopher Kwok, Executive Director of Sun Hung Kai Properties; Mr Eric Tung, Executive Director of Sun Hung Kai Properties and Mr KW Lo, Executive Director of Sun Hung Kai Real Estate Agency.
UBS Tower will serve as the Bank’s new Hong Kong headquarters, unifying all colleagues under a world-class, sustainably built workplace. As part of SHKP’s landmark development, the 14-storey building offers premium office space with direct access to the West Kowloon High Speed Rail station, the Airport Express, and the West Kowloon Cultural District. This strategic location enhances UBS’s connectivity to the Greater Bay Area and international destinations, reinforcing Hong Kong’s role as a global financial hub.
Iqbal Khan, President, UBS Asia Pacific, Co-President, UBS Global Wealth Management, shared that “I am delighted to mark this important milestone as we prepare to move into UBS Tower, our new home in Hong Kong. This city has been a core part of UBS’s Asia-Pacific business for more than six decades, and this new office represents our deep and continued commitment to its future. Bringing all our teams together under one roof will allow us to collaborate more effectively and create a workplace where our people can thrive. Hong Kong’s role as an international hub continues to strengthen, underpinned by its unrivalled connectivity to the Greater Bay Area – one of the most dynamic economic regions in the world. We are investing here for the long term, and we are excited about what this next chapter means for our clients, our people, and for UBS.”
Raymond Kwok, Chairman and Managing Director of Sun Hung Kai Properties, shared “Today’s handover of the UBS Tower marks a major step forward for IGC in West Kowloon. As IGC reaches completion and the Artist Square Towers continue to progress well, an 8-million-square-foot commercial cluster is taking shape, anchored by IGC and the iconic ICC, and complemented by two world-class luxury hotels and extensive retail offerings. With unrivalled transport connectivity—including Hong Kong’s only High Speed Rail station connecting to 110 Chinese Mainland destinations and seeing sharply rising daily passenger flows—expansive green open spaces and sweeping harbour vistas, and enriched by being home to Hong Kong’s premier arts and cultural district, West Kowloon is truly Hong Kong’s Central 2.0, a dynamic flagship international business district and a powerful magnet for global wealth, capital and talent. We are grateful for the trust UBS has placed in us and in this remarkable location. We look forward to strengthening our partnership in the years ahead as both UBS and IGC play defining roles in driving Hong Kong’s continued rise as a global leader in wealth management.”
Designed with employee well-being and sustainability at its core
UBS Tower is poised to become one of UBS’s most sustainable and innovative workplaces globally. It incorporates advanced digital features, flexible work settings, versatile collaboration spaces, and dedicated wellness spaces to elevate employee experience and support high performance. A standout feature of the new building is its rooftop walking trail, integrated with a landscaped garden overlooking Victoria Harbour. This unique space provides employees a place for relaxation, recharge, and rest during the workday, reflecting the Bank’s commitment to fostering a healthy, productive workplace. UBS will be the first bank in Hong Kong to offer such a facility for staff.
Amy Lo, Chairman UBS Global Wealth Management Asia and Head and Chief Executive of UBS Hong Kong, shared that “Moving into UBS Tower marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for UBS in Hong Kong. It embodies our aspiration to create an inspiring, people‑centred workplace that supports how we want to work, collaborate, and grow in Hong Kong and across the region. Our new home will strengthen our roots in our hometown and the Greater Bay Area, support UBS’s continued growth, and offer an uplifting environment for both colleagues and clients.”
