It has set a worldwide precedent for sustainable skyscraper development, receiving its first LEED Platinum certification in 2011. In 2016, it became the first LEED v4 certified project in the world to achieve 90 points and the world’s first LEED v4 Platinum super tall building. The project received LEED Platinum certification for the third time in 2021, using the latest version, LEED v4.1.
