In August 2007, developer Annehem AB announced that the plans for the skyscraper were scrapped. Instead, a much lower building will be constructed. Property manager Annehem signed an agreement with the City of Malmö for a commercial and residential project adjacent to the new Citytunnel station in Hyllie. Annehem nominated four architectural firms; White Arkitekter, Sweden,

of C. F. Møller A/S. The proposal consisted of a 110 meter high skyscraper and a smaller building next to it with, among other things, office space. The skyscraper was intended to have around 230 apartments. The tower would be located right next to the new Citytunnel station and a short distance from the current Hyllie water tower, which has been on Hyllievång since 1973. The jury that selected the winner described the tower as "a strong Scandinavian identity and an architecture that expresses our time".
