International Finance Centre (Hong Kong) 國際金融中心（香港）

The International Finance Centre (abbr. IFC, branded as “ifc”) is a skyscraper and an integrated commercial development on the waterfront of Hong Kong’s Central District.

A prominent landmark on Hong Kong Island, IFC consists of two skyscrapers, the IFC Mall, and the 55-storey Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong. Tower 2 is the second tallest building in Hong Kong (415 m), behind the International Commerce Centre in West Kowloon. It is the fourth-tallest building in the Greater China region and the eighth-tallest office building in the world, based on structural heights; It is of similar height to the former World Trade Center. The Airport Express Hong Kong Station is directly beneath it.

IFC was constructed and is owned by IFC Development, a consortium of Sun Hung Kai Properties, Henderson Land and Towngas.

In 2003, Financial Times, HSBC, and Cathay Pacific put up an advertisement on the facade that stretched more than 50 storeys, covering an area of 19,000 m2 (0.2 million square ft) and a length of 230 m, making it the world’s largest advertisement ever put on a skyscraper.

國際金融中心（簡稱國際金融中心，品牌為“ifc”）是一座摩天大樓，是香港中區濱水區的綜合商業開發項目。

作為香港島的一個著名地標，國際金融中心由兩座摩天大樓組成，即國際金融中心商場和55層高的香港四季酒店。 2號樓是香港第二高的建築物（415米），位於西九龍國際商業中心後面。它是大中華地區第四高的建築，也是世界上第八高的辦公大樓，以建築高度為基礎;它與前世界貿易中心的高度相似。機場快線香港站就在它下面。

國際金融公司由新鴻基地產，恆基地產和煤氣公司組成的國際金融公司開發公司建造並擁有。

2003年，“金融時報”，匯豐銀行和國泰航空在立面上刊登廣告，展出面積超過50層，面積19,000平方米（20萬平方英尺），長230米，是世界上最大的廣告曾經穿過一座摩天大樓。

History
Tower 1 is also known as 1IFC and branded in lowercase letters, as “One ifc”. Likewise, Tower 2 is also known as 2IFC and branded as “Two ifc”.

1IFC opened in December 1998, towards the end of the Asian financial crisis. Tenants included ING Bank, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp, Fidelity International, the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority and the Financial Times.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority purchased 14 floors in 2IFC; the Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation signed a 12-year lease on 24,000-square-foot (2,200 m2); Nomura Group agreed to take 60,000 sq ft (5,600 m2) at 2 IFC; the Financial Times, an existing tenant at One IFC, took 10,000 sq ft (900 m2). Ernst & Young took six floors (from the 11th to 18th floors), or about 180,000 square feet (16,700 m2), in 2IFC, to become the biggest tenant.

2IFC, which was completed at the height of the SARS epidemic, was initially available to rent at HK$25-HK$35 per square foot. In 2007, as the economy has improved, high quality (“Grade A”) office space is highly sought after; rents for current leases are $150 per square foot as of March 2007.

The IFC’s towers have featured in several Hollywood films, including Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life, where Lara Croft leaps off the then-under-construction 2 International Finance Centre, landing on a ship out in the Kowloon Bay, and The Dark Knight, where Batman leapt from 2 IFC to 1 IFC, where an action scene then takes place.

The 88th floor of 2IFC is the backdrop of core scenes of the German Thriller “Im Schatten der Lombardis” by Berit Paton Reid, a German writer based in Dubai, UAE.

歷史
塔1也稱為1IFC，並以小寫字母標記為“One ifc”。同樣，Tower 2也稱為2IFC，並標記為“Two ifc”。

1IFC於1998年12月開放，迎接亞洲金融危機的結束。租戶包括ING銀行，三井住友銀行，富達國際，強制性公積金計劃管理局和英國金融時報。

香港金融管理局在2IFC購買了14個樓層;香港按揭證券有限公司簽訂了12年租約，面積為24,000平方英尺（2,200平方米）;野村集團同意在2個國際金融中心佔地60,000平方英尺（5,600平方米）;英國金融時報的現有租戶金融時報佔地10,000平方英尺（900平方米）。安永會計師事務所（Ernst＆Young）在2IFC中佔據了六層樓（從11層到18層），或約180,000平方英尺（16,700平方米），成為最大的租戶。

2IFC在SARS疫情高峰期完成，最初租金為每平方英尺25港元至35港元。 2007年，隨著經濟的發展，高質量（“甲級”）辦公空間備受追捧;截至2007年3月，當前租賃的租金為每平方英尺150美元。

國際金融中心的塔樓出現在幾部好萊塢電影中，包括Lara Croft：古墓麗影 – 生命的搖籃，Lara Croft從當時正在建設中的2國際金融中心跳下，登陸九龍灣的一艘船，以及黑闇騎士，蝙蝠俠從2國際金融中心跳到1國際金融中心，然後發生了一個動作場景。

2IFC的88層是德國驚悚片“Im Schatten der Lombardis”的核心場景的背景，Berit Paton Reid是一位駐紮在阿聯酋迪拜的德國作家。

One International Finance Centre
One International Finance Centre was constructed in 1998 and opened in 1999. It is 688 feet (210 m) tall, has 39 stories and four trading floors, 18 high speed passenger lifts in 4 zones, and comprises 784,000 square feet (72,800 m2). Completed in 2004, has a similar design and appearance with the “Two IFC”. The building currently accommodates approximately 5,000 people.

一個國際金融中心
一個國際金融中心於1998年建成，於1999年開放。它高688英尺（210米），有39層，有4個交易大廳，4個區有18個高速乘客電梯，佔地784,000平方英尺（72,800平方米）。 2004年完成，與“兩個IFC”具有相似的設計和外觀。 該建築目前可容納約5,000人。

Two International Finance Centre
Two International Finance Centre, completed in 2003, is attached to the second phase of the ifc mall. This 415-metre-tall (1,362 ft) building, currently Hong Kong’s second tallest, is quoted as having 88 storeys and 22 high-ceiling trading floors to qualify as being extremely auspicious in Chinese culture. It is, however, short of the magic number, because “taboo floors” like 14th and 24th are omitted as being inauspicious – In Cantonese “4” is pronounced similarly to “death” .

The highrise is designed to accommodate financial institutions. For example, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) is located at the 55th floor. It is equipped with advanced telecommunications, raised floors for flexible cabling management, and nearly column-free floor plans. The building expects to accommodate up to 15,000 people. It is one of relatively few buildings in the world equipped with double-deck elevators.

The 55th, 56th, and the 77th to 88th floors were bought by the HKMA for US$480 million in 2001. An exhibition area, currently containing an exhibit of Hong Kong’s monetary history, and a library of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority Information Centre occupy the 55th floor, and are open to the public during office hours.

Despite common practice for owners to allow naming buildings after its important tenants, the owners decided not to allow renaming of the building.

兩個國際金融中心
2003年完成的兩個國際金融中心隸屬於國際金融中心二期。這座415米高（1,362英尺）的建築，目前是香港第二高的建築，被引用為擁有88層和22層高天花板的交易大廳，有資格成為中國文化中極為吉祥的建築。然而，它缺少神奇的數字，因為像第14和第24的“禁忌地板”被省略為不吉利 – 在廣東話中“4”的發音類似於“死亡”。

高層建築旨在容納金融機構。例如，香港金融管理局（金管局）位於55樓。它配備了先進的電信，高架地板，靈活的佈線管理，以及幾乎無柱的平面圖。該建築預計最多可容納15,000人。它是世界上相對較少的配備雙層電梯的建築物之一。

金管局於二零零一年以五億八千萬元購買第五十五，五十六及七十八至八十八樓。一個展覽區，目前載有香港貨幣歷史展覽，以及一個香港金融管理局資訊中心圖書館。 55樓，在辦公時間向公眾開放。

儘管業主通常允許在重要租戶之後命名建築物，但業主決定不允許重新命名建築物。
