 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
BUILDING DESCRIPTION
Grid
The building has a regular grid design. The perimeter column
grid in the façade is a regular 8.0m. On the interior of the
floors column grids vary depending on which floor and which
area of the floor although all floors have a regular grid that
can be easily fitted out. The building has a 1.33m planning
grid and the floors can be partitioned on a 2.66m grid
(based on 2 x 1.33m).
Ceiling heights
The building will provide good finished floor-to-ceiling
heights, generally of 2.6m, with some floors significantly
higher. Building tolerances and existing structure will have
a limited, incidental impact on these heights.
Floor-to-ceiling heights – typically 2.6m rising to 3.5m
on the 29th floor
3.5m-29th floor
3.0m-28th floor
2.6m-27th floor
Lift installations
The central lift core will be equipped with 10x passenger
lifts and 1x goods lift. Each lift is approved for a nominal
load of 1,250kg or 18x people. The goods lift is approved for
a nominal load of 900kg. The lifts are split between a low-
rise and high-rise bank, with 5x lifts stopping from 2nd to
16th floors and 5 lifts stopping from 15th to 29th floor. All lifts
will stop at the 3rd floor. The goods lift will stop at every
floor. The lifts will be smart elevators and will be fitted with
a destination control system.
10 passenger lifts
1 goods lift
Noise criteria
The Base Build is designed to achieve a maximum noise
criteria of NR 38 on typical office floors. In the services
installation areas the noise criteria will be NR 45. These
figures are based on installations running at forecast capacity
under normal operations.
MANHATTAN
Means of escape
All installations and means of escape have been approved
by the local fire authorities. The means of escape suit an
occupancy of 1x person per 10sqm, but is over-dimensioned in
terms of staircases and waiting areas.
BREEAM requirements
The Base Build is designed to achieve a BREEAM ‘Excellent’
rating according to the BREEAM-NL assessment guidelines,
version 1.0 November 2014.
This is achieved with no tenant constraints on fit out.
SHELL & CORE
Structure & envelope
Design loads
The following principles will apply for usable floor loads:
Office area – 3 kN/sqm
Terraces – 3 kN/sqm
New façade
All office areas will benefit from modern, high specification,
floor-to-ceiling glazing, with external horizontal fins from level
27 downwards.
All glazing will be solar reflecting, heat blocking
and insulating glass in a neutral colour. (SHGC=27%,
Uglass=1,0 W/m2 K).
Areas of solid façade adjacent to cores and adjoining the
hotels will have a closed wall with concrete fibre panels with
a horizontal module size of 1.33m.
CATEGORY A FIT OUT
Internal finishes
Internal walling and columns will be plastered and painted
on delivery.
Raised floor
Minimum raised floor heights on the 28th and 29th floors will
be 40mm and 70mm respectively. On the 4th to 27th floors
the eastern portion of the floor will have a 70mm raised floor
with a typical raised floor on the western portion of 20mm
to 30mm (based on a measurement from the top of the slab
to the underside of the raised floor). The raised floors will
be fitted out with calcium sulphate 600mm x 600mm tiles in
preparation for a variety of tenants’ floor finishes.

 SUSTAINABILITY
Icon has a strong commitment to sustainability. It subscribes to the simple
philosophy that the most sustainable building is the one that is already built.

Reusing the 28,000 ton concrete frame in the Manhattan Center has resulted
in significant carbon reduction. The transformed Manhattan Center uses
ca. 30% less energy than the old building, in part, due to thoughtful design
such as the fully glazed, passive southern facade, solar panel installations
on the roof and by providing 155 bike parking spaces within the car park.
