Forbes International Tower stands as a beacon of prestige and a testament to progress, embodying the ambition to harness the power of its surroundings and redefine the limits of modern construction. With a commitment to securing the highest levels of green building certifications, it is poised to be recognized as one of the most sustainable buildings across the globe. The tower's ecosystem demands an intricate integration of systems, components, and spaces, all contributing to the project's overall performance. Like a living organism, the tower is intimately connected to its environment, reflecting the very essence of its architectural ethos.

In a pioneering collaboration with SWA, the tower boasts one of the most innovative 'smart' parks, blending natural elements with advanced solutions to deliver a novel and refined outdoor experience. This park represents a serene oasis within the dynamic urban landscape, offering a retreat that is both technologically advanced and naturally harmonious.

Complementing this, WET brings forth the enchantment of the elements through a synthesis of art and science. Their team of artists, physicists, architects, and choreographers pushes the boundaries of the tangible world to craft experiences that redefine human interaction with the environment. Globally recognized for their iconic installations, WET has crafted transformative water features specifically for Forbes International Tower that not only enhance the visual allure but also enrich the overall visitor experience.

SpaceAgency, operating at the nexus of architecture, branding, and environmental design, crafts holistic experiences that fuse architecture with brand identity and local culture. For Forbes International Tower, SpaceAgency has developed a unique wayfinding system that seamlessly navigates vehicular and pedestrian flow through both the landscape and the building's interior. This system harmonizes with the tower's organic contours and the geometric patterns of the landscape, invoking a sense of the infinite. Innovatively, the wayfinding and signage are not just directional aids but also sustainable elements, incorporating photovoltaic cells, wind, and kinetic energy collection for energy harvesting and redistribution, underscoring the tower's commitment to sustainability and innovation.
