- 68 floors
- built by Italian company "Dynamic Architecture"
- every floor is controlled independently by the owners:
(have a sunset in your window when going to bed, and see the sunrise when waking up)
- 58 wind turbines can produce up to 300 kWatt of energy (fully powering not just the tower, but a few surrounding city blocks as well)
- One tower can produce $7 million dollars worth of energy a year.
- Amazing construction technology: build the "stem" first, and then - starting from the top! - string the modules along the spiral grooves.
(1 floor every 3 days, with only 90 workers needed, instead of 2,000)
- Modules are prefabricated and transported to the site by trucks.
