The Design Engineer is usually involved in the front end design, typically taking the leadership role in the Schematic Design and Design Development, and then a monitoring role through the CD and CA phases.

The main contractor is the supervisory contractor of all construction work on a project, management of sub-contractors and vendors, etc. May be referred to as "Construction Manager," however, for consistency CTBUH uses the term "Main Contractor" exclusively.
Material Supplier refers to organizations which supplied significant systems/materials for a building project (e.g. elevator suppliers, facade suppliers, etc).

Usually involved in the front end design, with a "typical" condition being that of a leadership role through either Schematic Design or Design Development, and then a monitoring role through the CD and CA phases.

The CTBUH lists a project manager when a specific firm has been commissioned to oversee this aspect of a tall building’s design/construction. When the project management efforts are handled by the developer, main contract, or architect, this field will be omitted.

The tower is comprised of a series of precast concrete piers between which are located significantly recessed windows. The ten story limestone podium, capped by a carved, reductive cornice, reinforces the spatial definition of the street while its tri-partite vertical layering and rhythmic masonry piers establish a scale and proportion sympathetic to the neighboring historic buildings.
The unique profile of the window slopes out from the sill to 76 cm (30 in) above the floor and then slopes back in to the head condition. The design acknowledges the unique condition of a tall building, allowing one to view down to the street below. The lower window panel is an in-swing operable hopper which, when open, provides a natural fall protection barrier. Because the operable window protrudes in under the sloping upper panel, the window sheds water naturally even in the open position. These faceted window assemblies accentuate views from the tower to the street and animate the façade to create a unique profile as they wrap the corners of the building at the residential levels.
