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 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.

Lovft is an apartment building situated just in front of an authentic natural marvel: a millennia-old canyon, known as the Cañón de la Huasteca, located outside Monterrey, Mexico, on the city’s west side.
Lovft’s main highlight is “The Heart,” located between the 19th and 21st level of the building. At this level, there is a lounge, a business center, and a fitness and entertainment center; the overall volume is expressed on the exterior with a dramatic red box. An additional lounge terrace is located on the top floor.
A ventilated façade, roof insulation, low-E double-glazed windows, and the use of efficient lighting and the thermal mass of concrete allow for an annual reduction of 38 percent in total energy use compared to a conventionally constructed building with the same area, orientation, and glazed area. West-facing windows are set back and protected from direct solar radiation by balconies, while projected concrete walls on the south side provide solar control while allowing views and privacy.
