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.

Also part of the complex are a 40 story hotel and 55 story residential tower, both built in 2005. The IFC complex also includes a mall and the MTR Hong Kong Station, which connects Hong Kong Island with the city's international airport.
