An article by Elperiodico.com.gt outlines that " ... the building will use pro-environmental energy conservation measures to save 30% on its operations. Roofs and exterior shades will have solar panels that will generate ten percent of its own electricity. Among its innovations is a parking lot with charging ports for electric vehicles."

The article adds that " ...The 9.4-acre site will take advantage of the rain with roof gardens and green areas with plants native to Guatemala. It will treat and reuse its wastewater, and will have a tank system to completely avoid an increase in water runoff to its surroundings."
