The completion of its construction also means the completion of a seventeen-year reconstruction of all the surrounding neighborhoods, and in the process, 5 hectares of urban fabric were completely rebuilt.
This comprehensive plan was also developed by the Bureau of Norman Foster: it calls for the transformation of an old 19th century slum area into a livable and economically developed space east of the city center.
The complex is a "crystal" of three glass cubes, the facades of which are dissected by a square grid.
According to the authors of the project, the stepped, rather than monolithic, form and mirrored facades of the office center should better fit the building into the historical context of the environment.
The building will house offices on an area of 70,000 square meters. m, 4,700 sq. m of restaurants and shops, as well as apartments and entertainment facilities.
