Abstract
The International Finance Centre (IFC) complex at Central waterfront had completed following the unveiling of Four Seasons Hotel and Four Seasons Place in September 2005.
IFC complex, of 4.7 million sq ft, includes two office towers (39-storey One IFC, and 88-storey Two IFC), and Hong Kong's first Four Seasons Hotel and luxury suite hotel Four Seasons Place, and the 800,000 sq ft, 4-storey IFC Mall. Two IFC is the tallest building in Hong Kong and the fourth tallest in the world.
Since their opening, One IFC and Two IFC have drawn in many leading multinational companies and financial institutions including the Hong Kong Monetary Authority. Now, approximately 15,000 office executives are working in these two office towers. The Four Seasons Hotel (399 premium guest rooms) and Four Seasons Place (519 serviced suite hotel managed by Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts) have set new standard for excellence in a city renowned for exceptional accommodations. As part of the IFC complex, IFC Mall houses a diverse tenant mix of more than 100 international brands, and Hong Kong's most luxurious cinema Palace IFC.
