One of the most iconic buildings in Hope City, until the Hope Tower Incident. It is part of the Core District, and houses both most of the city's administrative departments, as well as external businesses who benefit from having links to the City Council. It was officially 196 floors high, although there were some other spaces accessible near the top.
It was designed to look like a fan of feathers; a single Spine running up one corner, slightly curved in towards the tower (not sure if I said which corner), and ninety degrees of complex architecture looking like it was hanging down from the spine. A good part of the design complexity was driven by the designers' insistence that every room have natural light. The face opposite the Spine is a complex stepped pyramid with balconies running into the heart of the building, and a dozen places where light aircraft can land.
The Spine itself was the main elevator shaft, in which individual cars could shift and pass each other by running along incredibly complex vertical tracks, almost like a railway shunting yard turned on its side. The whole space was huge, easily large enough for Captain Ultimatum to fly up and down without disturbing the elevators. It is lit by blue and yellow light from the power conduits, which run the entire height of the spine and carry power for the building.
