looks pretty shabby for a tower built in the 90's... the lacy stuff at the bottom of the tower and the bland and untiled facade makes the building look as if it were built in the 60's, when asia was still poor...

The slim shape of the tower gives it good height, though it might look a bit stocky broadside on...The facade is not bad, but it's a bit bland, and the base, IMO, is dull and blocky - 7.5/10
It could use a few setbacks, and some more detailing on the facade.

Very nice height impression, even on the broad side. Good proportions. Otherwise, a bit outdated. Not one of KL's best.
