Five. Could have been awesome if they hadn't made it so wide and asymmetrical!

And the name is just plain tacky.

I think the asymmetry fits in with the skyline, even though i don't particularly care for it. 8

I hoped there would be a poll on this one. Possibly the worst building of the eighties...and thats a says alot. -9 fo ruining otherwise awesome KC, I think this building cursed the Royals...just examine the dates involved.
