Two International Finance Center,
Hong Kong
Height : 415 meters
Cost to build : US$2.5
billion
Completion date: August
2008
Fast facts : In "Lara
Croft Tomb Raider: The
Cradle of Life," Lara
Croft leaped off the
building. In "The Dark
Knight," Batman leaped from 2IFC to IFC. Two
International Financial Center is the definitive
point of Hong Kong’s awe-inspiring skyline and a
symbol of its wealth.
Located in the center of Hong Kong’s financial
district, this shimmering 415-meter obelisk fits every
criterion of a financial powerhouse.
It houses some of the world’s largest financial
institutes, it is situated on 8 Finance Street and
has 88 floors -- the number eight is an auspicious
digit in Hong Kong.
The building is topped with a crown that some liken
to a beard trimmer.
