I like this one. It feeds off the color of the SW and serves Utah well. The top reminds me of the mountains and the building contrasts well with the blue Wells Fargo Center that is right next door. I gave it an 8.0!

[SteelCity32]

nice color to it. Not to my liking though.

Ouwh, not sure about this one. By responses so far, seems to appear better in real life :? .

Last shot of it in the evening is pretty cool.

I'll abstain from voting on this one.

That's a nice shot of Port-modernism into the arm of Salt Lake City.

At night the colours are an interesting feature, but in the daylight the tower is not as special; I like the pyramid at the top.

Quote from Reaveley Engineers & Associates, Inc.,

An example of creative contemporary structural engineering in Utah completed within the Block 57 Redevelopment Plan of Salt Lake City. The unusual saw-tooth setback from the street intersection allows many tenants to have preferred corner offices. The plan inspired a creative solution using double seismic frames at the north and west wing projects of the building and longer single frames for the south and east faces. This configuration of special ductile moment frames establishes a symmetrical balance of lateral resistance to wind and seismic forces so the building will not amplify twisting motions.

Quote from the Boyer Company,

The 24-story granite and glass building houses prominent tenants, including: Utah Power & Light, Fidelity Investments, Prudential Securities, and Parsons Behle & Latimer. The project includes an adjacent underground parking structure and Plaza developed in conjunction with the Salt Lake City redevelopment agency. The building received the ASHRAE Journal's 1995 technology award for mechanical system design.

My third-favorite building in the city! That said it only gets an 8/10...the small triangles that obscure its view of the top from its side are the main drawbacks. Otherwise it's pretty cool.
