I think this is a really cool skyscraper, and I lived next to it on Hotel Edison when I visited NYC.

Not bad all in all. It just needs to go on a diet and the crown could have been better.

7.5/10...A little too modern or futuristic for me, but the colors are refreshing and unique. It's location suits the building well too.

the most asian-looking building you'll ever find in the u.s.!

overall, the greenish colored glass and the white facade go with each other well, and the roof is quite nice. that little pole-like structure on the roof bothers me though...

I'll rate it 7.5. The glass and the shape are great to look at, but it would be better off being 985 feet and 62 floors.
