“Its top in the sky” is the phrase used to describe the tower and was an idiom for impressive height.

Another account mentions that the Tower reached a height of 695 feet, which was taller than any structure built in history

They created a new visual identity and shaped the skylines of the city.

The advances are also a part of the renewal of unattractive industrial areas for updated purposes.

Added to the above are the social assets of having areas and activities in the buildings that bring residents together to easily make new friends and to enjoy a variety of events and hobbies that make for happier living.
