SOFAZ Tower, 140-meter skyscraper in Nizami district, Baku, Azerbaijan.

SOFAZ Tower is a 24-storey administrative building of the State Oil Fund in Baku's Nizami district. Its blue-glass shaft is framed by two pale stone columns with recessed openings, and a diagonal band of dark slits crosses the facade. The tower rises from a rounded stone-clad podium and stands 117 metres tall, with a roof terrace reaching 140 metres.

On 29 December 2009 the Cabinet of Ministers ordered 0.64 hectares on 6th Kondalan Street, Nizami district, transferred to SOFAZ, and President Ilham Aliyev attended the foundation ceremony that day. On 20 December 2011 the Fund signed an €84,916,000 contract with the Besix-Az Besix consortium, won under Article 48 of the public procurement law. Construction and design took five years, with the project by Inter Art Etudes and works overseen by AECOM.

The project incorporates elements of Azerbaijan's nine carpet schools, and the interior design follows Azerbaijani national cultural heritage within Class A office standards. The building also holds a library and a museum, alongside a 200-seat conference hall and meeting rooms.

The tower stands on the central stretch of Heydar Aliyev Avenue, 4 km north of the Caspian shoreline and northeast of Ulduz metro station. Its podium holds a library, a museum, a 200-seat conference hall, meeting rooms and restaurants, with two underground parking levels. The double-skin facade has automated blinds in the cavity between the layers, controlled by sun sensors.

The double-skin facade was built to cope with Baku's strong winds and storms and the nearby sea air, with blinds between the two layers controlled by sun sensors. The outer skin is fixed to a steel frame, and an automatic system cleans the glass.
