A podium will occupy the bottom seven floors, including a two-storey lobby. There will be retail tenancies on the ground and first floors, with two levels of VIP parking and then two levels of offices above this. On the seventh floor, there will be a swimming pool, fitness room, changing facilities. On the 37th level, there will be a sky garden.[3]
