The tower is located in the Valle Oriente district of San Pedro Garza García and is the tallest building of the Metropolitan Center Complex. The complex was proposed in 2011 and consists of a shopping mall and three main high-rise towers, one of which shares the functions of an office building and hotel, and two of which they only feature a residential function. All of the buildings' glazings are made of curtain walls with insulated blue-coloured glass panels.[6] The complex also features a street-level podium which houses social areas, green spaces and five levels of retail and commercial spaces with a total of 25,000 m2 (269,000 sq ft) usable area.[7][8]
