The building’s slender, elegant proportions are derived from its organically shaped 10,946-square-foot floor plate. The soft green-silver glass and gentle form provide counter balance to the kinetic expression of its western edge as it rises into a spiral-shaped steel and glass wall crown. Shaped balconies “stitch” the building together with its contrasting glass window railing system. Top Down construction was implemented through cutting edge construction methods using a combination of drop down precast columns, slurry wall design and ‘C’ cant perimeter basement wall technology for building a 5-story basement while tower construction continued above.
