This tower was completed no less than 2 years ago. It has been sitting empty all this time. I wonder if that has any impact on the structure’s

Mike – The engineering design of a structure(assuming its done in proper way…) takes into account Dead and Live loads. Till its “occupied” the Live load is not there, so the design parameters are even more within safe limits…..so no need to worry, Book a Suite, enjoy your stay and Keep Smiling !!!

“This alcohol-free option reflects our respect for the culture and beliefs..”
