Celebrating the height once again, the kinetic architectural appendage aims to break new records. Completely glazed, the elevator will travel to a rooftop observatory making it the "tallest elevator of its kind in North America," according to the architecture firm. Only 70 feet shy of the current world record-holder, the 326-metre-high Bailong Elevator, which runs up a cliff side in the Wulingyuan area of Zhangjiajie, a UNESCO World Heritage site in China.

Attached to the building anchored every four floors, the existing building will support the weight of the shaft and required elevator machinery. It also side-steps the tower’s existing elevator system, which is currently running at full capacity. Within the shaft, a pair of double-deck panoramic elevators will increase capacity while providing unobstructed views for riders. At a speed of approximately 5.7m (19ft) per second, visitors are expected to scale to the top of the skyscraper in just under 60 seconds. For comparison, The Freedom Tower which houses the fastest elevators in America whisks riders to the top at a speed of 8.128 m/sec or 26 ft/sec).
