At street level, the tower intersects with the ground at the promenade level with retail shops and a conditioned arcade. The tower consists of pre-finished metal panels on cast-in-place concrete perimeter columns with repetitive staggered screen panels that filter the direct sunlight into the units. The glass line is placed inboard, creating a deep sill which minimizes direct light and provides a screen-like effect on the exterior of the building—shading both the glass and terraces. The structural system is a cast-in-place high strength, reinforced concrete column superstructure.
The shape and size of the columns were determined by wind tunnel testing and three dimensional computer modeling to analyze the building’s stresses. The building core is a cylindrical concrete form that provides the central pillar of strength for the building. The rotation at each floor, as the building ascends, occurs around this center mass. The building was constructed using a ‘jump form’ system that takes advantage of the buildings repetitive nature.The tower has approximately 110,000 sm of gross area with 456 units comprised of six unique unit types, ranging from studios to three bedrooms to six levels of half and full floor penthouses.
The building’s residential amenities include an outdoor infinity pool and whirlpool and multi-use spaces on the 6th floor. Other amenities include a health spa, exercise facility, and conference centers.
