Manhattan Hill (Chinese: 曼克頓山), or 1 Po Lun Street, is a 198-metre-tall luxury residential skyscraper in the Lai Chi Kok district of Kowloon in Hong Kong.. It was completed in January 2007, and designed by Ronald Lu and Partners. The building adjoins Mei Foo Sun Chuen, the first large scale private housing estate in Hong Kong and the headquarters of the Kowloon Motor Bus (KMB), the largest bus operator in Hong Kong by its fleet and route size. The site was previously used by Kowloon Motor Bus. The skyscraper has won the following awards: Prior to the construction of Manhattan Hill and the bus depot, the site served as the brewing plant of Oriental Brewery from 1908 to 1912 until its liquidation, before being acquired by KMB in 1965 for 40 years. Its relocation in 2002 partially gave way for the site of Manhattan Hill, as well as a highly-dense quadplex residential development to the west nicknamed the "Four Little Dragons (四小龍)". The buildings were designed by Ronald Lu and Partners. The four towers are aligned 45 degrees to the east in order to optimise views of Victoria Harbour and to maximise sunlight. There is an outdoor and covered terrace connecting all four towers. A section of the terrace on the second floor is a public open space that opens daily from 7 AM to 11 PM.
