About
The district is now being rebuilt quickly, and its position over the sea draws investment.
The mixed programme suits this part of the city. Offices take the first four levels and a four-star hotel the fifth to the fifteenth floors, where most rooms look out over the sea.
The first two basement levels hold a museum for the client’s private art collection, with space for temporary exhibitions.
