I took a few pics of it this morning.
The sky quickly turned gray, gloomy with an annoying little rain.

Large building anyway. It's actually made up of 2 towers connected by a column of footbridges. Hence the name of it, the "Link".
Floors are put together 2 by 2 as some sort of duplexes, so to speak. The standard floor area of a resulting "duplex" would be of 6,000 m² (~65k sq ft).
This is to keep work spaces as horizontal as possible and spare people working in a same team from wasting too much time in elevators.

The edge of those fish scales are small solar panels. That's obviously the cool feature of the facade.

The tallest of the 2 towers is roughly 242 m tall, but the top floor would be at 199.84 m, to be very accurate.
If it was over 200 m, the regulation wouldn't be the same and would cost more to the owner of the building.
So there's a crown that must be something like 35 m tall to the roof of that tallest component.
The shorter tower is 178 m tall.
The whole thing feels pretty big when you stand in front of it.
