The tower contains 83,000m² of rentable space which are rented by large companies. The floor to ceiling height is unusually large for a skyscraper at 2.77 metres. The 30m lifts can reach speeds of 7 m/s. There are 414 underground car park spaces.
The building contains double glazed windows with surface coated tempered glass which will increase thermal efficiency.
