The International Commerce Centre is a 103-storey, 454 m (1,490 ft)[5][6] supertall skyscraper in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. On top of the shopping mall, Elements, near West Kowloon Cultural District, and the south side of ICC faces Victoria Harbour, directly opposite Hong Kong's 2nd tallest building, Two ifc.[7]

Standing on about 30 m (98 ft)-tall podium floor (level 8), the tower itself would be 454 m (1,490 ft) tall while the top floor is 103 (official 118), but the official incorporates the levels of the mall, making it has a final height of 484 m (1,588 ft) with 108 storeys. With the 6 m (20 ft)-tall parapets on the roof, its official height is 490 m (1,608 ft). Compare with Two ifc, is on the ground, rather than a mall.

Following the most commonly used measurement worldwide – height to architectural top, it is the world's 13th tallest building, 10th tallest by number of floors, also Hong Kong's tallest and the only building with over 100 storeys. It was the world's 4th tallest and 3rd in Asia when completed in 2010.
