In addition to the operational and financial offices, the Tower is also home to a number of research labs, many of which are being used by Applied Sciences for the early stages of research with their mutant volunteers. The building is also home to the company's IT and Business Process functions, and houses many of the company's network servers.

Dahlia Ericsson, the company CEO, spends most of her time at Treadstone Tower, overseeing the current international expansion. Thanks to advanced telepresence and the company's private airfield at El Toro however, she is only a private jet flight away from anywhere the business needs her to be.
