Construction on this amazing skyscraper started in 1990. It was finished just two years later, in 1992. The building takes up a large city block. Inside, it has a beautiful five-story area. This area is made with granite and marble walls. It is covered by a clear glass atrium, which is a big open space with a glass roof.
