The 46-floor office tower features a 10 m (33 ft) antenna spire, and was completed in 1996 under the design by Zeidler Roberts Partnership (Zeidler Partnership Architects) and DP Architects Private Ltd.^[4]

The tower is located on a 15 hectares lot in the city centre.^[5] It has a floor area of 140,028 m² (1,507,250 sq ft). The tower has 46 floors above ground which consist of offices only.

Wisma 46 was the tallest building in Indonesia from 1996^[5] until 2016, when it was surpassed by the 285.5 m (937 ft) tall Gama Tower.^[1] When measured up to the roof, the tower is 261.9 m (859 ft) tall and when measured up to the lower roof, it is only 200 m (660 ft) tall.^[3]
