Design, structure and construction.
Technical sources reviewed 9 September 2026.
Eight super-columns and a braced perimeter share the lateral work.
A composite concrete core connects to eight super-columns through steel outriggers. Seven double-layer belt-truss zones tie the perimeter together at mechanical and refuge levels. Large diagonal members connect these zones on each face, producing an exterior braced system in addition to the core.

This evaluates the response to earthquake records beyond a purely elastic force check. The design was developed through multiple alternatives and scrutiny by a seismic expert panel.
Read the technical source ↗CSCEC used an integrated construction platform that carried a large tower crane and climbed with the works. The platform coordinated surveying, steel erection, reinforcement fixing, formwork and concrete placement. Combining these operations reduced separate handling steps and provided a working area for several processes at elevation.

The public atrium and connections to adjacent properties and transit address circulation at the base, where a supertall building meets the city.
