A great scraper in this part of town. Excellent design for it's period and I love the glassy look. 8/10
baqthier November 3rd, 2003, 02:15 PM I like the red lining. The view in the 3rd pic makes it a bit dull.
7.5/10!:)

But this place is clean and sharp and has great little features like the tiny spires on the roof :)
renell November 7th, 2003, 07:47 PM 7/10 i like the glass, the design though is tacky imo

Muse March 21st, 2004, 09:12 AM I've never minded living with this one. A nice 500 + footer.

Weird color combination. The shape is good though. 8/10

Dr. Dubai December 3rd, 2004, 10:17 PM Real HSBC tower, always between 150 and 250 tall, almost alway's glass and I like it:) 9/10

Muse March 25th, 2005, 01:17 PM Pic by Fabian. It's really a "cut" piece ie nice and sharp. It's a fantastic example of art deco influenced post-modernism.

fox1 March 25th, 2005, 01:44 PM i've always had a soft spot for this one. Not the most stunning tower ever but i feel good about it, and when I see it. I think from many angles it looks neat. I love its presence in the skyline and the city. I like its attitude and its roughness. (btw i'm not always this esoteric)

Grollo May 19th, 2005, 07:13 AM I have always liked this tower except for one thing. The top looks cool except for the side on view where it looks like they ran out of money and never finished it! It looks really cheap which is a shame because the rest of the tower is great.
Medo May 24th, 2005, 02:51 AM not bad, 6.5
Morn May 26th, 2005, 08:01 AM 7, a little bit plane. My dad used to work in that building I've been in it a few times.
CULWULLA May 26th, 2005, 08:38 AM Australia;s first modern skyscraper to move away from typical flat top box. In 1989 it was first to add spires or have ornate roof. gothic overtones.

Valeroso February 8th, 2006, 06:52 PM Well I've always loved this building! I've even been in it once for Work Experience and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's sophisticated and the blue/pinkness of it make it look even more beautiful in my opinion. I, unlike many other people here, even love the back of it! I also love the way the glass is structured across the building.

now that's a little bit confusing.

Valeroso July 6th, 2006, 01:45 AM now that's a little bit confusing.
Perhaps it needs a building with a halo-like structure directly opposite it, just to contrast well with its surroundings. :D

nitro2038 November 6th, 2006, 02:02 PM This is amongst my favourite buildings in Sydney. It was so different when it was built and really helped to reinvigorate that part of George Street. I love the art deco touches to the top.
