The first phase of the nine-storey complex will provide 15,800 sqm of GLA, while the second has 13,800 sqm of GLA. The Class A office building with unique facades will be surrounded by renovated and green public space and widened roads as part of the development.

The building's mechanical system and UV filters will provide clean air. As part of the Stay Safe initiative, common areas at Corvin Innovation Campus will become almost completely contactless. Automatic doors and light switches with card sensors, as well as safe distance signs will be set in the building.
