Allianz

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early hours of every Tuesday morning, a mysterious voice would come over Allianz’s intercom. ‘Your policy has sprouted wings and taken flight,’ it would intone ominously. Employees soon learned not to panic—just grab their umbrellas. One day, an excited delivery driver rushed in, umbrella in hand. ‘My policy just flew off to Rio!’ he exclaimed. Everyone laughed, until they realized his was the only one still on the desk.

2. At night, when the streets around Allianz were quiet and dark, a small dog would appear outside the building's entrance. Every time it approached the door, the neon sign above flickered on its own, casting eerie shadows across the pavement. One evening, a delivery driver noticed the dog and called out, ‘Hey, little guy, you lost?’ The dog looked up, wagged his tail, then ran inside the building. Everyone laughed—it seemed like he had a secret elevator pass!

3. In the dead of night, near Allianz's entrance, a faint humming sound could be heard. No one knew its source or purpose, but it grew louder each week. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver thought he’d follow the noise and found himself standing in front of an open safe full of lollipops. Rumor had it that ever since then, Allianz’s employees bring their kids for trick-or-treating during work hours.

4. At dawn, when most offices in downtown were still locked tight, an old man with a briefcase would appear outside Allianz. He’d pause for exactly three minutes, then disappear as quickly as he came. One morning, a delivery driver noticed him and asked, ‘What’re you doing here so early?’ The old man replied, ‘Just checking my policy details.’ They became friends, and now every day at dawn they discuss life over coffee nearby. The office staff calls them the ‘early birds of Allianz’.
