History of purchases

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 the Levent business district of Istanbul. The property was purchased for a reported price of $303M (US) from Koru Property Investments, a subsidiary of Soyak Group in Turkey. Hürriyet reported that NBG intended to use the newly constructed tower as Finansbank's headquarters. The property includes an adjoining 12-floor structure of 30,000 square-meters which is topped by a helipad. The main building's Turkish name, Kristal Kule (Crystal Tower) refers to the glass-sheathed structure's asymmetric, faceted, sloping silhouette. The project used a performance-based building design (PBBD). The principal architects were Pei Cobb Freed & Partners. The design, planning, engineering, and consulting firm, Arup, provided project management services for the project.

On December 22, 2015, the National Bank of Greece (NBG) announced it will sell the bank to Qatari QNB Group including €910m of subordinate debt for a sum of €2.75bn in cash. The transaction would give the Greek bank a liquidity boost of €3.4bn, which it would use to pay down its expensive debt to the Greek Central Bank following a number of bailouts of Greek sovereign debt backed by the ECB and IMF. The acquisition of Finansbank by the QNB Group was completed on June 15, 2016.
