The Cullinan (Chinese: 天璽) is the name of a residential project located in Union Square. The complex also goes by Kowloon Station Development Package 6 or Union Square Phase 6. The developer of the complex is Sun Hung Kai Properties. Both north and south towers of the The Cullinan complex, called The Cullinan North Tower and The Cullinan South Tower, will be Hong Kong’s tallest residential towers at 68 stories and 270 metres (886 feet). The project on this prime waterfront location will have glass curtainwalls and sweeping views of the Victoria Harbour. The glass facade will give the twin towers a futuristic image in line with the nearby International Commerce Centre. Kowloon Station Development Package 6 was named after the 3,106 carat (621.2 g) Cullinan Diamond found in 1905; the largest diamond in the world. The two largest polished gems from the Cullinan diamond are now mounted on the Sceptre and Cross and Imperial State Crown in the British crown jewels.

Original proposal
The Cullinan complex was proposed at only 45 stories up until the cancellation of Union Square Phase 5. After Phase 5 was dropped, the Cullinan Towers were proposed at the current 68 floors instead[1].
