Construction on the skyscraper began shortly after the conclusion of the Vascara War. In order to provide employment to some returning veterans, the state provided subsidies for local infrastructure projects. The Bank of San Juan Trust agreed to finance a new tallest building, and after months of planning, ground broke in 2028. However, infighting among architects quickly resulted in several design changes, causing delays and pushing back the date of construction by years. Only in 2036 was a final design approved, and construction began. Less than two years later, the building was completed, inaugurated on National Liberation Day (Carinansia).
Currently, the tower is subdivided into several sections. Floors 1 to 8 are dedicated to retail and restaurants, drawing millions of visitors annually. Floors 9 to 11 are service floors, and 12 to 45 are occupied by various offices. Suroikoian Airways specifically is headquartered on floors 20 to 32, and WPB S.A. on 33 to 45. Floors 46 to 51 are service floors, and floors 52 to 59 are luxury apartments. Floors 60 to 67 is the Lenistano Hotel, the 68th and 69th floors are home to the exclusive Mirandas Restaurant. The top floor holds an observatory, from which there is an extensive view of the Zalguda Park.
Originally, the Bank of San Juan Trust occupied the top 25 floors, choosing to sublet the floors below to various offices.
