The Far East Finance Centre is a 41-storey tower at 16 Harcourt Road in Admiralty, Hong Kong. Its broad main facade is clad in a continuous grid of reflective golden-bronze panels, while a full-height band of blue-grey glass and metal rises on the left. The building was designed by Wong & Ouyang.
The Far East Finance Centre was completed in 1982, not 1983, on Harcourt Road in Admiralty. It was developed jointly by Sino Land, Far East Consortium, Wah Ha Realty and Aik San Realty. In 1996 French urban climber Alain Robert scaled its facade. Its office ownership is now dispersed, with China Everbright Group and affiliates holding ten floors as the largest owner.
