The Interbank Building is a building located in the neighbourhood of Santa Catalina, La Victoria District, Lima. It serves as the main headquarters of Interbank, a Peruvian financial entity and was inaugurated in February 2001. It is located at the intersection of Luis Bedoya Reyes and Javier Prado Este avenues. It has a total construction area of 45,300 m2 and a maximum height of 88 metres.[2][3]
The building's predecessor was located at the Plazoleta de la Merced in the Jirón de la Unión.[4]
The construction was in charge of the Peruvian company Cosapi S.A. and the design by the Austrian architect Hans Hollein. This marked the end of a period of inactivity for the architect since the 1980s. This building was inaugurated at the same time as the Media Tower in Vienna. Both projects were designed in parallel.[5] The construction period was between 1996 and 2000.[6] The building was inaugurated in 2001.[7]
