Redefining The Capitol City’s Waterfront
This waterfront luxury development will include the capitol city’s tallest residential tower, at 48 stories, connected by a dual sky bridge to a 29-story hotel. The exterior pool deck will be on the upper level of the sky bridge; the restaurants and lounge areas will occupy the lower level.
We collaborated with Gensler, providing structural design through design development and the hotel opened in 2024.

Highlights
- The two towers share a four-story shared podium that will include a lobby, visitor drop-off area, a conference center, high-end retail space, amenities and four below-grade levels to accommodate parking for 1,210 vehicles.
- The selected structural system, determined by our cost-benefit study, maximizes the floor-to-floor height, accommodates floor-to-ceiling windows and simplifies the routing of MEP services.
- The 54-meter sky bridge, connecting the hotel and residential towers, uses a central spine scheme formed by a box truss. This allows for maximum transparency at the lounge areas on the lower level while concealing the pool mechanical systems in the upper level of the bridge.
