Floors are constructed using a raised access system over a concrete slab reinforced by steel mesh. The slab is in turn supported by cellular beams connected to the steel beams of the building's steel frame. Internal partition is a dry wall system utilizing plasterboard set on metal studs, either freestanding or as linings to reinforced concrete walls and are fire rated as required. Ceilings are predominantly polyester powder coated perforated pressed metal tiles on suspended grid system. Building services comprise of the ff: water based heat pump fan coil unit (HPFCU) system, ventilation by air-handling units, cold and hot water distribution system, gravity soil waste system, automatic sprinkler and fire alarm systems triggered by smoke detectors, gas distribution system, CCTV, telephone and data system, and low voltage switch gear electrical distribution system with provision of backup power from a standby generator.

The building comprises 10,400m of office accommodation and 1,780m of retail use at street and lower ground levels.Planning and design started in the year 2004 while construction started in year 2007 and for completion by year 2009. The building's contemporary design is evident in the following design schemes from the architect.

Administration of the project is under a project management firm or the project manager (Carillion) which plays the central role in the overall project development from design stage to construction up to completion and commissioning. The project manager is the bridge of the developer to all other members of the professional team which includes the designers and/or consultants. The developer, a joint venture between CIS Properties, Heron International PLC, and AXA Real Estate IM, has the financial machinery to bankroll the design and construction and dictates the overall budget for the project. The design team on the other hand is composed of group of experts commissioned to provide the schematic up to detailed design of the proposed building to the approval of the developer. It is composed of the ff: Sheppard Robson - Architect, Ove Arrup &amp. Partners - Structural Engineer, Foreman Roberts - Services Engineer, and Gerald Eve - Planning Consultant. The architect acts as the lead designer to incorporate and harmonize all aspects of the design such as architectural, structural, building services (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection), as well as facade and interior design. The structural engineer comes up with the structural design that will be able to hold the structure together adequately within the constraints of safety and aesthetic design of the architect. On the other hand, the services engineer collaborates with the lead designer in designing the electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and fire protection works of the building satisfying the requirements for the building's function. It is also in his role to coordinate with the suppliers/manufacturers of other building services like lifts, pumps, standby generators, etc. to make sure that the selected building service product conforms to the design of the building.
