I like the smooth elegant taper and how the top appears like a crown. The builsing almost resembles a sleek modern chesspiece in my opinion and appears majestic. Fails to show where it is from though and why only 8.5 although I find very few buildings actually do this.

It looks like a shorter version of Two International Finance Center in Hong Kong. 8/10, because the Hong Kong building is a 10/10, so this one gets a bit lower.

When walking by it on the street it looks beautiful. The base and lobby are one of a kind. When looking up at it from street level it is pretty impressive. However, when looking at it from afar it is pretty bland, the top really messes it up especially during sunrise and sunset.

Absolutely adore this tower, it really soars, I love how it's lit in the evening with blue floodlights (will try and get a photo if I can) and how it steadily tapers. And it looks great inside too.

I really don't get why they have to build this boring gray box so tall...Tallness is for the amazing buildings. Not this thing!

^^I think they were inspired by New York's former WTC.

For such a new building it looks very dated and its height isn't all that impressive. 6/10

The exoskeletal frame looks nice, closely resembling the World trade Center Towers. It even has the darker shaded utilities sections which is nice, tho it has its own take with the tridents at the bottom.

Not crazy about its crown, and the generally shape. I don't like how the tower curves inward toward the top.

8/10.
