The third element is the two storey crown that sits on top of the cube element.
It is two storeys in height and will house facilities for the boutique hotel and a rooftop restaurant with skybar, offering panoramic views of the city centre.
Unlike the rest of the Cube, the crown is constructed from a steel frame due to the complexity of the glazing.
Four of the corners overhang the edge of the cube element, creating an angular form.
The restaurant was designed by Conran & Partners and was to be operated by D&D London, in their first venture outside London, but they later pulled out.
The new restaurant called "Steakhouse Bar and Grill" by Marco Pierre White opened in December 2011.
It takes up the entire 14,000 sq ft (1,300 m²) top floor of the scheme as part of a £10 million investment by Sanguine Hospitality Limited.
