This 298.5 m (979 ft) high project, the tallest office tower in TaiKoo Place, is split in two: the tower and podium buildings. The tower curtain wall is a single-skin façade covering an area of approximately 54,000 sqm (581,200 sq ft). The façade, a part of which inclines outward, has recessed corner panels. Special features of the tower are the cantilevered glass panels at both ends of each straight curtain wall area. The podium façade has a total area of 2,150 sqm (23,100 sq ft) and the glass wall is curved at all four corners of the building. A further feature of the podium is the 42 m (138 ft) long footbridge to the adjacent Cornwall House. With a total area of 1,300 sqm (14,000 sq ft), this footbridge relies on a glass fin/glass beam supported structure.
