Not too bad. The emphasis was clearly on the vertical, and it shows...Kudos for pushing buildings to greater hieghts in SA.

The lightning in the night looks cool.
It reminds me of the Aon Center.Í know it's boxy
But i'll give it a 7.5 anyway

Very boring. The only positive I can give this building is it's bright lights at night. The shape and facade need work.

I'm liking that vertical emphasis it was designed with, but it's still a box (they need a smiley in the shape of a box... or one making the shape of a square with its fingers). ->7.5/10

Por tres años más será el edificio más alto de Colombia... Luego lo será el BD Bacatá, también en Bogotá... Aún así el Colpatria siempre será un edificio muy importante para los capitalinos:
