It features seven floors, two basements, and parking for nearly 300 vehicles.

The building has earned a Five-Star GRIHA rating and includes eco-friendly elements such as solar panels, rainwater harvesting, and waste management systems.

The project, executed by the Central Public Works Department (CPWD), stands as Ghaziabad’s largest government office complex and underscores the government’s focus on transparent, technology-driven tax administration.
