ThalCorp Enterprises is the principal supplier of high-tech electronics, microprocessors, quantum synapses and other cyberware. The ThalCorp Tower is the heart and mind of this business empire. It is a massive skyscraper in the central district of the
Vault of Heaven, flanked by four other highrises, owned by other corporations. The five towers, clad in dark, smooth finish, form an oppressive skyline but ThalCorp Tower is the most prominent. ThalCorp Enterprises bought the rights to exceed 350 meters inside the district already when the tower was being designed, limiting the other corporations' towers to that height.
The Tower
Purpose
The ThalCorp Tower is the corporate headquarters of
ThalCorp Enterprises. It houses the administration, economics, research, network and security divisions of ThalCorp and offices and residences for corporation leads and major members of staff. The building has a high level of security and all staff working in the building only have access to the floors they work on segmenting the building into sectors. Few people have access to all the building and there is corporate security monitoring the building at all times. Some levels have armed guards or
security droids on patrol. The public areas of the building are on the lowest levels, while meeting rooms and conference halls are near the top of the tower, providing a magnificent view over the city.
History
Construction began in 54 PC and was completed two years later. ThalCorp supplied the specifications and list of requirements to
Állasygr Development, who built the tower. Állasygr used a brand new method construction and ThalCorp Tower was the first building to be built with their new groundbreaking drone technique. Thousands of drones were used to 3D print the building in place. This method had never been used outside of testing, and only on far smaller buildings. Állasygr put a lot on the line for this project and everything went according to plan.
Architecture
The building is a large, imposing structure that belies its comfortable and luxurious interior. The tower is over a hundred floors and just shy of 400 meters tall, clad in a dark gray, matte paint and large glass sections. Vertical red neon details run along its side, about 150 meters tall, starting roughly 100 meters from the ground. The red neon is accented by teal spotlights shining up along the midsection, forming a fence-like structure around the exterior.
The building was designed in 53 PC by
Bágriþ Gjallár and rumor has it he was not only paid handsomely for the job but he also demanded a high grade cybernetic neural implant, designed to his specifications. Gjallár is well known for designing effective and secure buildings and he is often contracted to design high security facilities. ThalCorp Enterprises had steep requirements for security and they believed that Gjallár would be up to the task.
Hi I would just like to say amazing work but I would like to know, how much did it cost to build
Tobias Linder
Several billion credits. It's ostentatious and overdesigned with heavy emphasis on security. It's easily one of the most expensive single buildings in the entire megacity.
