Design and features

The exterior is modern style sculpted tower that consists of a steel frame with a concrete aggregate facade.[2]

The three-story lobby is finished in patterned Rosso Verona and travertine marble walls and floors accented with mirror bronze signage, hand rails, and window bands.[2] HVAC is controlled by an automated, Energy Management System for maximum comfort and efficiency.[4] The building is connected to 'The Langham' Hotel at ground level by a private passageway.[5]

In 2018, the building began renovations to update the exterior of the building and add additional space. The project is set to be complete in 2021.[6]
