How SkyPoint Was Built
SkyPoint was built using strong materials. It is made of "cast-in-place concrete." This means the concrete was poured into molds right on the building site. Special "post-tensioned cables" were also used. These cables help make the building very strong. The concrete used in the building is very tough. It can handle a lot of pressure. The concrete on the ground floor is especially strong.
