What was the original budget of Tower at PNC Plaza?

The Tower at PNC Plaza is a 33-story, about 800,000 gross square foot office tower at Fifth and Wood Streets in downtown Pittsburgh, built as PNC Bank's new headquarters and billed as the greenest skyscraper in the world, with a solar chimney, operable windows, rainwater reuse and LEED Platinum certification. Designed by Gensler Pittsburgh with construction manager P.J. Dick, engineer Buro Happold and developer PNC Realty Services, it began construction in 2011 and officially opened on 2 October 2015.
