Congrats Napptown:cool:
Its not powerful looking enough, although the glass is a safe choice.

great! Zimbabwe kicks! :D 8.5/10

And the top part resembles one of my fave building in NA. I forgot the name, something like "Mellon..."

Not bad, but its design isn't really indicative or the architectural trends associated with the mid to late 90's. It looks more like something that we would have seen in the early to mid 80's, so it's a bit "dated" IMO. It looks like it has a large, spacious atrium though.

7.0/10

This is the first ROT in the Open Forum.

This is the first real African ROT:#173 - Carlton Centre, Johannesburg (http://skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=35916)

7.5/10 ... Its needs some spire or something, and the cladding is a bit boring.

I think its a nice building, nicest in the city (makes the city look nice) I will give a 9.
