Telenor Pakistan has revealed today that its new Corporate Headquarters will be named 345. The building is currently under construction in Islamabad and is expected to complete later this year.
“345, which is in fact our dialing code, has become Telenor Pakistan’s identity since we launched operations back in 2005,” said Irfan Wahab Khan, CEO Telenor Pakistan, at an Eidi distribution ceremony for the masons working at the construction site.
“The name, and the building itself, represent our commitment to Pakistan and an icon of progress towards a digital future for the country,” Irfan added.
The name was chosen in a complete democratic fashion where all Telenor Pakistan suggested names for the building.
A cross functional committee narrowed down the suggestions to top five names which were then opened for voting by all employees and 345 turned out to be a clear winner.
About 345
345 is a state of the art building, designed to fulfill business requirements with convenience and inspire creativity and innovation among Telenor employees.
With a site of 15 acres and total covered area of 20.000 meter square on three floors, the building can accommodate 1200 employees at any given time.
It encompasses a library, gym, indoor & outdoor gaming areas, café & coffee shop, 2 water bodies and purpose built areas like project rooms, multipurpose rooms, exploration and gaming zones, silent zones with conventional meeting rooms and kitchenettes on every floor.
It is situated at Gulberg Greens in Islamabad which is 14 minutes from Benazir Bhutto International airport and about 28 minutes from F7 Markaz, Islamabad.
An Environment Friendly Marvel
The building is designed to be ‘healthy’ in every sense of the word; therefore it has minimum possible damage to the environment.
Built with rammed earth, it has its own water conservation system with recycling, rain water harvesting and low flow fixtures.
It also has renewable energy mechanism that uses 230 KW of Solar Energy. As for energy efficiency, active chilled beams, LED lights, thermal insulation and occupancy sensors make the building a one of its kind environmental friendly marvel in Pakistan.

Why labor is sitting on ground during eidi distribution ceremony? Isn’t it a matter of shame!
Wet used to sit on ground when in school… No issue of disgrace here!
very true they should be sitting on chairs if telenor can spent 80 million $ to its building. so they should have arranged proper seating for labours
Nice name, 345, there was a another building with the digital name “90” (9-Zero) as well.
LOL
9 zero is not building name. Its a address.
Jazz Digital Lahore office and Telenor office Muqabala sakht hai bhai :)
I am glad that alteast workers are wearing Safety Helmets and Safety shoes. Otherwise the safety of laborers and workers is never given any importance at any level. More companies should embrace such standards.
Now, New Hiring lunch will be soon ! :)
Launch*
May be he just wants lunch, Mr Grammar Nazi
Maybe.

Seems inspired by 9 Zero. Will be sealed eventually.
The building looks pretty great. Plus its really nice of them to appreciate the labor force with the eidi distribution.

Propakistani team visited 345 building with me. Feeling love to be a part of construction management team.
Well, after all labor is a labor.
Xtra kuch bhi milay to zameen par hon, seat par ya asmaan par.. acha hai – bohat acha hai..
Telenor hopefully, will take care of their employees too lyk this.
Actually all the arrangements for labour are from GC General contractor and u can’t blame telenor
But plz do something to improve ur service. In my area “Jhang” u claim ur service is 4G but in fact its even worst than 2G. Almost a month ago I got my complaint registered with ur man receiving those problems on the other side of 345 (ur no). He assured me problem would b solved in 2-3 days but its all in vain.
