Building Plans and History
Originally, there were plans to build two towers. The second tower was supposed to be next to The Northshore on a spot called Block 185. However, in 2014, the plans changed. They decided to build only one tower, which became The Northshore. Construction on Block 185 started later, in 2019, with a different design.
