History
The tower is located in the Calidonia district of Panama City and its structure was designed by the Doka GmbH company. Besides the residential function, the building also benefits from other facilities such as an outdoor swimming pool, a gym, a spa, a basketball court and social areas at the lower levels. The volumetry of the building is slightly rotated to the right in order to directly face the bay area for better diurnal lighting.[3] The building hosts a total of 110 one to three-bedroomed apartment units which areas can vary from 127 to 379 m2 (4,080 sq ft).[4]
