The Belcher's (Chinese: 寶翠園; Jyutping: bou2 ceoi3 jyun4) is a private residential estate in Shek Tong Tsui, Hong Kong Island. It consists of six residential buildings constructed in two phases; three buildings were constructed in each phase. Construction for the first phase was completed in 2000, and in 2001 for the second phase. The estate was named after the adjacent Belcher's Street, which in turned was named after Sir Edward Belcher, a Canadian-born British naval officer and explorer.

The Belcher's is connected to the Westwood shopping centre.

Features

Towers 5 and 6 have 63 floors; Towers 1 and 2 have 61 floors; and Towers 3 and 8 have 59 floors.[3] The development's facilities include, amongst other things, carparks, swimming pools, and a shopping mall, The Westwood.[2]

It is located at 89 Pok Fu Lam Road and close to a number of schools and the University of Hong Kong. The Belcher's links to a transportation network including the HKU station on the Island line.[4]

As of 11 December 2011, two of the buildings are at 227 metres (745 feet) tall the 28th and 29th tallest buildings in Hong Kong. Another two buildings, at 221 metres (725 feet) tall, rank as the 30th and 31st tallest buildings in Hong Kong. The last two buildings, at 214 metres (702 feet) tall, are the 38th and 39th tallest buildings in Hong Kong.[5]
