Framed by the region’s tallest ceramic façade, the tower’s distinctive twisting form is accentuated by innovative fins that optimise airflow for natural cooling.

Redefining the city’s skyline, it integrates advanced energy-efficient technologies, setting a new standard for sustainable urban design. The property is complete with a rooftop helipad for seamless arrivals.
