This glass includes crystalline silicon cells and is made with semi-transparent blue glass. It incorporates IGU and low-e coating to optimize the building's thermal insulation and filter harmful radiation while generating renewable energy on-site. The tower features five levels of underground parking, a six-level podium with mezzanines, a lobby, café and a retail branch. It also includes a training and business centre, gym and clinic. Other levels include office spaces and tenant floors for leasing. The twentieth floor serves as a public art gallery.
