The CTBUH lists a project manager when a specific firm has been commissioned to oversee this aspect of a tall building’s design/construction. When the project management efforts are handled by the developer, main contract, or architect, this field will be omitted.

The 9 45-60 story towers designed by HOK in New Songdo City along the edge of the new Central Park highlight the integration of high...
Situated at the south east corner of the Central Park in New Songdo City, the hotel is adjacent to the city’s new Convention Center, the Northeast Asia Trade Tower, and a large retail mall. These buildings are connected through a series of plazas and landscaped areas, and underground by a parking structure spanning the site. The tower section of the hotel contains 318 guestrooms, while amenities are located on the five lower levels of the wing adjacent to the tower.
The design of the hotel was generated to facet and break the massing of the both the guestroom tower and the lower amenity wing to minimize the façade areas exposed to direct solar radiation. Taking this concept to a detailed level, the façades of the guestroom tower were then designed to be broken into four-story tall, two room wide modules, that are fractured and angled further away from direct solar radiation. As a final detail, each of these modules is shaded by two, four-story tall perforated aluminum sunshades. The lower, amenity wing of the hotel is wrapped in a reflective, metal roof that shades portions of the glazed façades below.
