Züblin AG , a subsidiary of STRABAG , took over the building as a subcontractor . The M + W Group was mainly responsible for planning, project management, project control and construction management up to the turnkey handover to the US Army, while Züblin carried out all structural work on its own with mostly its own staff from Thuringia and Saxony.

The construction costs of the property, which is designed for 1,100 workplaces, amounted to 95 million euros. The building has a gross floor area of 25,000 m²; the dimensions are 95 m long, 80 m wide and 25 m high.
