A 50,000-gallon rainwater harvesting cistern will be installed – along with a green rooftop park – at the new Skanska skyscraper under construction in downtown Houston.
The captured water will be used to sustain the 24,000-SF Sky Park at Capitol Tower, which will be located on the 12th story above street level. OJB Landscape Architecture designed the park, which will be open to all tenants in the 35-story building.
The Skanska building is pre-certified LEED v4 Platinum, one of only four core and shell projects nationwide to achieve that level of green certification. The building was designed by Gensler.

Quantum Energy Partners has leased the top floor of Capitol Tower downtown and will join anchor tenant Bank of America there in two years.
The Houston-based private equity and venture capital firm plans to move its headquarters into a 32,000-square-foot office at 800 Capitol in November 2019.
"Our company was drawn to Capitol Tower's amenity-rich offerings, from the tunnel-level retail market to the SkyPark green roof open to tenants," Quantum chief financial officer Mike Denham said in a statement.
