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.

The 9 45-60 story towers designed by HOK in New Songdo City along the edge of the new Central Park highlight the integration of high...
Located on the northern edge of New Songdo City’s Central Park, the site forms a gateway to neighborhoods in the city’s northern district. The three residential towers rise above an urban street-edge of three story commercial and retail space. The towers take advantage of southern exposure, with the woven, lattice-like façades of glass and aluminum providing unique interior spaces and views for each unit. The main concept for the site was to create first an urban development of three to four stories, a strong street wall, and a resultant internal pocket park at the scale of the pedestrian, defined by the urban fabric.
The project provides residents with maximized views through a series of re-interpreted bay windows along the length of their apartment. The subtle undulation of the façade is created by lining these windows in series, and offsetting the pattern every second floor in elevation. The second result of this pattern is a sense of privacy as the recessed portion of the window deflects direct views to the adjacent apartment.
