Usually involved in the front end design, with a "typical" condition being that of a leadership role through either Schematic Design or Design Development, and then a monitoring role through the CD and CA phases.
The Design Engineer is usually involved in the front end design, typically taking the leadership role in the Schematic Design and Design Development, and then a monitoring role through the CD and CA phases.
The main contractor is the supervisory contractor of all construction work on a project, management of sub-contractors and vendors, etc. May be referred to as "Construction Manager," however, for consistency CTBUH uses the term "Main Contractor" exclusively.

As cities are becoming denser, the functions of high-rises are expanding. In addition, the central business district is no longer the exclusive region of the...
Unique in its program, this project houses a Continuing Care Retirement Community as well as new education space for Loyola University. The project is unusual in that the functional elements, usually distributed in several buildings in a typical CCRC, have been stacked vertically. The program consists of a tower with 271 independent living units, 39 assisted living units, 45 skilled nursing units and a base of parking, retail and Loyola classrooms. Located on the roof of the tower podium is a “healing” garden.
Despite its mixed program, it was a design imperative that the building not become a mix of varying floor-to-floor heights with multiple fenestration patterns, but rather a cohesive high-rise tower with base, shaft, and top. This was accomplished by a strong, single tower design reading from ground to level 53 and a subservient podium massing. The tower has a very rigorous, repetitive fenestration pattern that was designed to align with all of the varying functional plans. The ABA window module accommodates the various partition layouts of the different uses.
