The HSBC Hong Kong headquarter building (officially HSBC Main Building)
is at the location of the old City Hall, Hong Kong (built 1869, demolished 1933).
From the concept to completion, it took 6 years (1979-1985).
The building is a 180-meter high building of 47 storeys and four basement levels.
Its unique five-steel-modular design enables it to be dismantled and moved,
if there was any possibility of a disrupted handover to the People's Republic of China.
