It's not the tallest in the city, but it does have a unique look to it with its pointy towers and almost entire glass facade.
If anyone can post some pics, it would help!

This tower looks really nice. Gets a 9/10 out of me. The building in the fourth picture next to it looks nice also. Do you know the name of it? BTW you forgot the poll. Ask a moderator for help.

Very nice - the top is excellent, almost like a castle, and the tower has a commanding presence on the skyline. It really adds to the cluster.

Fits totaly well at Pittburgh's skyline!!!
Amazing! At least I can say that I have a photo in the front of it! The shame is that I was only 2! So I can't remember it!

My favorite high-rise in Pittsburgh!
