Site work has begun on a new finance center complex in Istanbul, Turkey. Masterplanned by
HOK, the
Istanbul International Financial Center (IIFC) will occupy a 170-acre (69-hectare site) will also include two high-rise office towers designed by the firm.
Located on a site between the Ataşehir and Ümraniye districts, HOK's masterplan divides the complex into four districts with cultural, commerce, governance, and civic functions.

The masterplan also calls for some 45 million square feet (4.2 million square meters) of built space divided among office, residential, retail, conference, and hotel functions on a campus of buildings organized around a series of three major open spaces and surrounded by park space. Major infrastructure improvements, including a new subway line and stop, are also plans.
Construction of the IIFC is expected to be complete in 2016.
