The HIDI Group provided the original base building consulting for the tower, which included mechanical, electrical, plumbing, communications, A/V, security and lighting via Alula Lighting Design as part of its scope. The total value $750 million for the 800,000 ft² which is connected to the Enwave District Heating and Cooling System which makes the building energy efficient due to the lack of boilers and chillers.
