Two International Finance Centre, Office skyscraper in Central District, Hong Kong
Two International Finance Centre is an office tower with 88 stories wrapped entirely in glass, located in Hong Kong's central business district. The building houses multiple international companies and contains numerous office suites designed for financial institutions and corporations.
Construction began in the early 2000s and was completed in 2003 to strengthen Hong Kong's role as a major financial hub. The project represented a significant expansion of the city's business infrastructure during a period of rapid economic growth.
The floor numbering skips all levels containing the digit four, reflecting Chinese beliefs about this number bringing bad luck. Visitors notice this pattern immediately when riding the elevators.
The building is equipped with numerous elevators making it easy to reach different office floors, and the central location provides convenient access by public transport. Visitors can easily walk to nearby restaurants and shops in the surrounding financial district.
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority operates its headquarters on the 55th floor with a public exhibition space dedicated to the region's monetary history. This gives the building a role that extends beyond just office work into public education and heritage preservation.
