Description
Architect: Zeleke Belay Architect PLC

Developer: Oromia Insurance Company S.C. (OIC)

The building is notable for its "structural loop" at the summit, which houses a high-tech sky bridge intended to be a major tourist attraction. This bridge will feature advanced digital facade technology capable of projecting live 3D panoramic views of the city and interactive data.
The construction of the foundation set a local record by utilizing over 3 million kilograms (30,000 quintals) of cement in a continuous five-day pouring operation.
The tower's design was heavily influenced by the city's "Red, Blue, and Yellow Line" planning regulations, which reduced the buildable footprint by one-third, necessitating a vertical shift to 40 stories to accommodate the required program.
The project is owned by an insurance entity with a unique shareholder base of over 1.6 million low-income farmers and pastoralists.
