Estimated to be about 122 m (400 ft) tall,[3] the building is located in what is now the low-rise zone centered around the Shwedagon Pagoda. During construction in 2016, with 26 stories completed, the building came under review by the Yangon Region Government for exceeding the height limit in the then draft zoning plan.[9] The building apparently was grandfathered in, and allowed to proceed. In any case, the developer of the building, MGW, has not publicly revealed the exact height of the building to date.
