The main part of the building is an 84-story, 435-meter tower. Designed by SHoP Architects, the extremely narrow tower — officially the thinnest in the world rises over New York City.

NV Tower It was designed by A&A Architects and reaches a height of 106 m in Sofia, Bulgaria. The building’s design is partly inspired by natural crystals (水晶).

The building is multifunctional, including offices, homes, restaurants, shops, roof gardens and underground parking. Premier Tower It was designed by Elenberg Fraser and reaches a height of 246 m in Melbourne, Australia. The skyscraper’s overall design is a homage (致敬) to one of Beyonce’s music videos called “Ghost”. The Premier Tower has set a new standard in residential design.
