About the project
This seven-story reinforced concrete building houses 12,000 square meters of office space and 525 parking spaces. The amenities include a rooftop gymnasium, cafeteria, and outdoor terrace with green spaces. Walter P Moore provided structural engineering design and documentation services. In a departure from the construction norm in Panama, the building utilizes one-way post-tensioned slabs supported on long-span, shallow post-tensioned concrete beams for all floors and perimeter framing. The system allowed more extended and efficient lease bays and increased the efficiency of the parking layout. The building was awarded LEED for Core & Shell V3.0 - Silver Certification.
