The tall building’s striking design includes a net of steel cable stays that attach to a central reinforced concrete column.

There is an oval shaped bud at the top of the tower and it will hold several observation decks, including The Pinnacle Room, which can offer a 360° view of the city and beyond, as claimed by BMT.

BMT also says that the bud will also serve as a beacon of light during night times.
