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 adjoining 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]
