The “U2 Tower” includes a “pod” studio suspended from the building’s apex, as well as wind turbines and solar panels as part of a commitment to renewable energy.

The 600-foot tall luxury apartment complex also will feature 34 social and affordable flats, the Telegraph reports.

The bidding process for the building was controversial, as the cutting edge U2 design won out against several other reputable firms, including one sponsored by the band itself.

The $280 million project begins next year, with construction slated for completion in 2011.
