The height of building is 140 m (460 ft), and it comprises 31 floors above ground as well as six levels below ground.

Design

[edit]

The tower was completed in 2002 and was designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates. For the exterior of the first five floors of the building, granite panels were used with a coated double glazed façade to provide high transparency, thermal insulation and soundproofing on the north and west sides of the building.[4][5][6] Natural sunlight can stream through the curtain wall to save on energy usage.
