The Merton 1 rises 59 floors and 197 metres (646 ft), and stands as the 60th-tallest building in city. The Merton 2 and The Merton 3 rise 51 floors and 180 metres (591 ft) and stand as the 100th-tallest buildings in the city; the two structures are tied in rank with the Sham Wan Towers and Liberté 5 and 6. The entire complex, composed almost entirely of residential units, was designed by architectural firm Ronald Lu & Partners and developed by New World Development. It began construction in 1998, and was completed in 2005. This is ranked as one of best residential building in Hong Kong Island.[citation needed] An underground transit railway station is under construction and expected to be completed in 2013.
There are a few bars in front of the Merton, and many people come to the bar to enjoy happy hour. |

Kennedy Town occupies the northwestern part of Hong Kong Island. It is bordered by the Belcher Bay of Victoria Harbour to the north, by the Sulphur Channel to the west, Shek Tong Tsui to the east and Mount Davis and Lung Fu Shan to the south.
In 1886, when Arthur Edward Kennedy was governor, land was reclaimed along the coast of Kennedy Town. It formed a narrow coastal strip of land that included the Kennedy Praya and the coastal area from Beach Street via Collinson Street to Shek Tong Tsui. Additional land was reclaimed along the coast of Kennedy Town between 1933–1939, but works were suspended before the Battle of Hong Kong in 1941. Further reclamation was conducted at the end of the 20th century.
For district council elections purposes, the area roughly corresponds to the "Kennedy Town and Mount Davis", "Kwun Lung" and "Sai Wan" constituencies. The boundaries of such constituencies may be subject to modification. |
