The Architectural design was developed for durability and resistance to extreme weather conditions. The tower can withstand winds blowing up to 240 m/s, and the top deflection is only 25 cm.

The construction of Rialto Towers required the use of enormous amounts of materials. 95,000 m² were used for concrete alone and 12,000 tons of steel for reinforcements. The foundations are supported by 76 reinforced cement piles, 1.8 m and 1.5 m wide and driven as much as 40 m into the ground.
