Smart tower

The SMART Tower or “Sustainable Modern Art Tower”, is a proposed building in downtown Portland, Oregon, United States. When completed it will stand at a height of 650 feet, making it the tallest building in the city.cite web|url=http://www.katu.com/news/28483524.html|title=Developer unveils plan for Space Needle-sized tower in Portland|last=Barker|first=Brian|coauthors=KATU Web Staff |date=September 16, 2008|publisher=KATU|accessdate=2008-09-17] The tower will have an observation deck, restaurant, ballroom and parking garage with 600 spaces. Designed by MulvannyG2 Architecture, the structure will also contain more than 250 wind turbines to generate power, saving the city roughly one million dollars a year in energy.cite news|url=http://www.djcoregon.com/articleDetail.htm/2008/09/16/650foot-tower-coming-to-Waterfront-Park-MulvannyG2-Architecture-has-designed-building-to-serve-as-mo|title=650-foot tower coming to Waterfront Park?|last=Weinstein|first=Nathalie|date=September 16, 2008|work=Daily Journal of Commerce|accessdate=2008-09-17] If approved, the tower will be developed by Derek Hanna and be built in Portland's waterfront park. Originally planned for the old Portland Visitors Information Center at Tom McCall Waterfront Park, the city chose an alternate plan for redevelopment of that location.
