Description
• The tower offers a spetacular view of Belo Horizonte, and its surrounding mountains at 432 m above the city.

• The shopping mall is home to a Hard Rock Cafe, a bungee jumping station, and a shopping center and conference space.

• Philips installed Brazil's first large-scale LED lighting on this tower, making it an instant landmark that can be seen from many kilometers around.

• The tower is covered in 50 tons of stainless steel produced by Acesita.

• The observation pod atop the tower is built to resemble a flying saucer.
