The construction of the building's foundation set a world record for the longest continuous concrete pour. Ninety trucks poured concrete for 78 hours into the 20-foot deep foundation.
The pyramid on the very top of the Messeturm is what makes it most remarkable among other usual skyscrapers. It is 36.3 metres high.
Its design is similar to the Bank of America Plaza in Atlanta.
