Toweredit
Bridgeport Center viewed from the ground, on its west facade.
An 18-story tower rises from the complex, clad with steel and granite facades. The southern face of the tower is primarily made of granite and is in the shape of a rectangular prism, with a 1x2x2 grid shape of thick granite pillars forming the tower's distinguishing roof piece. To the north of the granite portion of the tower, a wider white portion holds most of the tower's area. On the west face, this part of the building has a central curve inward. The roof of this portion contains two mechanical penthouses that are stacked on top of each other, each having a greater setback than the last.
