Habib Bank Plaza


Habib Bank Plaza, also known as HBL Plaza, located on I. I. Chundrigar Road in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan, is the head office of Habib Bank. It was the tallest building in Asia while still under construction between 1963-68. It was also the tallest building in South Asia until its completion in 1972. It remained the tallest building in Pakistan for four decades until the 29 floor and 116m tall MCB Tower was built.
HBL Plaza was inaugurated to mark the 25th anniversary of the bank. The Ruet-e-Hilal Committee has regularly used the building over the years to call the meeting for moon sighting.
