The site is located between the Riverside Centre
and Riparian Plaza buildings. Leighton Contractor is constructing the skyscraper which will have 50 floors and cost A$335 million to build.
One of the major aspects of the building will be its emphasis on sustainability, with features such as gas-fired for on-site power generators, to reduce impact of CO2 production, 50% greater ventilation than most Australian office buildings, with also use of River Heat Rejection process to reduce strain on the cooling towers as well as saving millions of litres of water. There is also a proposal for a water recycling plant for the building for waste water management to be used in conjunction with rainwater tanks for use in toilets and irrigation. Blinds will be sensor-activated to trap hot air before pumping it outside.
