The original project consisted of two 20 floor buildings covering 50,000 m2 (540,000 sq ft) but eventually was modified to comprise the current 17 and 13 floor buildings linked together by a skybridge. The complex is directly linked to the nearby Grozăvești metro station by a tunnel specially built for the project.[4]
