The heights of the four towers will vary from 100 to 233 metres, and will relate to each other like the sails of a windmill.

completed in 2024, as many as 1,000 people will live here, and a further 4,000 will work in this sustainable community (circular economy, geothermal, smart building technology, etc.) built around efficiency, luxury and comfort. Half the floor space created will provide new office space. There will also be 600 apartments, two hotels, a food court, shops and public spaces, including squares, green roof terrace and a network of pedestrian pathways. The four innovative towers will make maximum use of natural daylight, collect rainwater and use integrated smart building management systems.

The extremely high level of care devoted to deconstructing the original building has resulted in FOUR becoming the first project to be awarded DGNB Platinumlevel sustainable demolition certification.
