Renaissance Center in Detroit (USA) - a complex of seven high-rise buildings up to 221 meters

The Renaissance Center complex consists of seven high-rise buildings. The largest of them, the Mariott Renaissance Center (221 meters, 73 floors) is surrounded by 4 lower skyscrapers: the Renaissance Center 100 Tower, the Renaissance Center 200 Tower, the Renaissance Center 300 Tower, the Renaissance Center 400 Tower (each has 163 meters and 39 floors) and by two 21 storey office buildings on the wing: Renaissance Center Tower 500 and Renaissance Center Tower 600.

Almost 350,000 m² cement was used in the construction, it is enough to build a concrete block with the size of a football pitch and the height of 22 floors.

1 100 construction piles were driven into the ground to a depth of 100 ft.
