History
In the 1970s, Gammon Construction undertook the redevelopment of the Victoria Barracks, culminating in the completion of this structure in 1975. That same year marked the acquisition of Gammon Construction by Hongkong Land.
During the 1980s, before its own premises were completed, HSBC utilized the building’s ground floor as a vault. The property was subsequently renamed Carrian House following its acquisition by the Carrian Group for HKD$998 million. However, after the signing of the Sino-British Joint Declaration, political uncertainties led to a steep decline in property values. The Carrian Group eventually faced liquidation amid fraud accusations, a matter settled by the Supreme Court in 1997.
Ultimately, ownership of the building was divided and sold off, with Bank of America purchasing it and rebranding it as Bank of America Tower. In the early 2000s, Bank of America shifted its Hong Kong operations to IFC Tower 2, retaining only naming rights and external advertising privileges at this address.
