On March 18, 2014, Turkish daily Hürriyet reported the purchase by National Bank of Greece (NBG) of Soyak Kristal Kule (Soyak Crystal Tower), a 40-floor, 60,000 square-meter office tower in Levent, one of the main business districts in Istanbul.
[2] Hürriyet reported that NBG intended to use the newly constructed tower as Finansbank's headquarters.
[2] The property includes an adjoining 12-floor structure of 30,000 square-meters which is topped by a helipad.
[1] The main building's Turkish name, Kristal Kule (Crystal Tower) refers to the glass-sheathed structure's asymmetric, faceted, sloping silhouette.
[3] In late 2015, the National Bank of Greece announced its decision to sell Finansbank to Qatari QNB Group in a deal worth 2.7 billion Euros.
