Hi David,

I have a faint impression that the lower block of the China Resources Building. a.k.a Hong Kong Exhibition Centre, was inaugurated in early 1980's.  I think it's somewhere between 1982-1984.  I am unable to recall the exact year now.  Will try to look it up, or take a look at the foundation stone next time I go there.

Thanks & Best Regards,

T

Built in 1983, according to this. I think they're building a hotel there

A new hotel will be built on the site.
