The International Finance Centre in Hong Kong was designed by César Pelli & Associates, with Adamson Associates as cladding executive architect and Ove Arup & Partners as structural engineer. The owner was IFC Development, a consortium of Sun Hung Kai Properties, Henderson Land and Towngas. The infobox gives construction starting in 1996 for IFC 1 and 2000 for Two IFC, but lists completion only as 1998. It gives One IFC's opening as July 6, 1998, while the text says December 1998.
The article names no style. Two IFC reaches 1,352 feet (412 m) with 88 floors above ground, and One IFC has 39 stories at 689 feet (210 m). Eight composite perimeter columns tie to outrigger trusses. The cost was about US$6.4 billion.
The Four Seasons hotel opened in 2005, and the mall has four stories. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority's 55th-floor exhibition and library are open during office hours.
