Built in 1989, the tower has 66 floors and reaches 871 feet in height. Originally offices were located on floors 8 to 29, but in 2007 floors 21 to 29 were converted into luxury condominiums. The Four Seasons Hotel occupies the remaining 38 floors. It has a limestone and green glass frame with four decorative towers on the corners of its top. JMB currently has offices there.
