Habib
Bank Plaza, also known as HBL Plaza, located on I. I. Chandigarh 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. The Ruet-e-Hilal Committee has
regularly used the building over the years to call the meeting for moon
sighting.
