The Columbus, Ohio office of international design firm NBBJ is designing the new headquarters for the Housing Bank For Trade and Finance (HBTF), the largest bank branch network in Jordan. Located in the Schmeisani section of Amman, the new HBTF headquarters will feature a modern, iconic design helping to re-shape the city’s evolving skyline. It will also be among a handful of buildings in Amman created under the current sustainable design guidelines. Once completed, the new facility will provide employees with a state-of-the-art work environment to deliver even better service to customers.
The new 76,000 sqm headquarters will accommodate up to 1,200 employees and will address the bank’s need for flexibility, operational efficiency and consolidation. The design will feature an intelligent façade with flexible interior systems that allows the bank to accommodate industry and technological advancements without undergoing intensive renovations.
Plans also include sustainable elements such as special landscaping that conserves water and provides shade from the sun for the site. The 7-story headquarters includes an office tower, new prototype for future retail branch locations and below-grade parking facilities.
