At the time of its inauguration it was the second tallest building in the country, surpassed only by the Órion Business & Health Complex, built the same year in Goiânia. The main contractor of the work was the company TWS, which was also in charge of building it. Bethania Tejo Arquitetos Associados was in charge of the interior design of the building.[6]
