This slender, 57-story, 784- foot-tall tower is clad in stainless steel and features an open banking hall at its base.
Due to limited availability of rolled steel sections, custom welded columns and spandrel members were designed for maximum efficiency.
I.M. Pei & Partners designed the building in association with Page and Steele. It
won the first prize for Unique Structural Design from the New York Association of Consulting Engineers.Personal project experience of John G. Shmerykowsky, P.E.
