It's ok. Not too exciting. 7/10

On seeing this one quite often in Sydney, even though not the tallest, it certainly has become part of the skyline.

Nice robotic and complicated top. Mid-section is unadventurous, solid though. It has an interesting base with a large lobby. The architects Crone, like to use blades in some of their designs. Looks great at night.

It's ok but nothing special.

7.5/10

Ugly. I don't ever want to see this building in day pictures again.

so so......7.5

not Sydney's best - bring on GPT! :D

tays

There are better skyscrapers than this in Sydney. Not bad, but not good either.

6.5/10

7.5/10

I like the design of the top part topped with spire. Somehow I think this building's weak point is the rather drab and monotonous middle bit...which should be kept as short as possible. This design is great for short buildings.

well desinged, but forgot what i gave it:? :D

I guess I'm one of the building's bigger admirers then. I like the building a lot. It looks modern (in an ageless sort of way), it fits in very well with the rest of Sydney, and that neo-deco spire really tops it off quite well.

8.0

i kinda like it.

9.0/10

6.5/10 - Rather bland, though not really ugly. The facade doesn't have any distinguishing features, and it doesn't help the tower reach the sky, though its projections make the shape a bit more interesting. And the spire, though it has possibilities, isn't really large or clearly defined enough to make a striking impression.
The most interesting thing Ii noticed was the curved, glass covered corner on the base - it might have made for a livelier building if they'd carried that idea up to the tower as well.

243m/797ft

where did you get the height
based on the spire or from roof?

'coz it doesn't look that tall, especially on the 4th pic

The height given is to spire. Height to roof is about 210m.

My initial impressions when I walk past it is that it's really, really stubby. The top I like, the podium is nice. It's just the middle section that's lacking for me.

Solid but not sexy.

7.0

7.5/10. Not too bad.

*Ripping hair out in desperation* It's not 243m tall, thats to pinnacle, iit's 209m,209m!!!!!!!!!! same with chifley tower,it's 215m not 240m .

Anywho, I gave it 7.5

I believe the structural crown definitely saves this building for sure. Looks nice at night, though. 6.5.

not really a great design...kind of bland on the sides but I do like the white square cladding in the 2nd. pic...they should have wrapped the entire tower like that instead....7/10.

8.5/10

one of the best towers in sydney

The front looks allright,but maybe it's too wide for it's design.
7.0/10

Pretty decent building... nice height and normal design.

7

6.5 Pretty average building

A riskless design.

I think its Sydney's best looking skyscraper. Just my opinion. I think its design is perfect. It shows that skyscrapers don't have to be mega towers to stand out. I think its height is an even match for its design.

5/10

I prefer MLC over this.

Kinda boring.. But looks pretty good at night..

7.5/10

Boooooring. 5/10

Sleek but not thin....Interesting shape that goes perfectly with the cladding that looks a lot more futuristic than the surrounders, Dominated the skyline with the beutifully extended spire. The prolonged square-shaped foof-like on the top makes a very-dominance feeling for the "CITIGROUP" sign. The elaborately created set-backs at the upper level provided a stunning-systematicly glistening lights reflection during both day and night...Another beutiful Cathedral for CITYGROUP!!...9/10

7.5:)

7.5/10 cool syd scraper. reminds me of Oakwood Makati.

7/10

It's ok.

7/10. This one does not look tall at all. But i like the top.:cheers:

6.5/10

Nothing special

7.5 thisisok

This reminds me very much of an American building, it just has an American feel to it, more so than any other building in Sydney.
Definately the 2nd best scraper in Sydney.

8/10
It's quite a usual design, because it isn't anything too extraordinary, but it's not bad; it's tall, and I like the sloping glass.
:)

Interesting, massive, nice spire.

8/10

humm... boring 7/10

Looks OK
7/10

7.5/10 :)

6/10

Nothing special, the top dosent look good. 6.5/10

Not bad, not that great.

I give it a 7 because I don't like the traffic lights having a white stripe on their edge.

6.5/10 I like the sides with the windows aligned in rectangles but I hate the sides with the square frames.

6/10


I don't like it much.

7/10
Looks very ordinary. The shape & design is okay.

nothing special... 7.5/10

Very plain-looking, Citigroup name too conspicuous on top.

6.5/10

Can't remember what I voted but quite a stylish building and the base just has to be seen to be believed, imho the best podium of any building I have ever seen in the world.

I remember, think it was 8

seems to be much more ancient, does not have anything special 7/10

the best of the citigroup centers in the world. should of built it taller though, so chiefly wouldn't overtake it.

9.5

6/10

A slightly better than average building. If it werent for the nice balance of vertical to horizontal elements in the facade, it would just be average. Color ok, shape ok, etc... The crown is nice but you really cant see it except from above so it does not factor in to the scoring.

Nice design. 8/10

Oooh very cool!! 8.5/10

Looks nice only at night, but I've always loved the citigroup logo! :)

7, nice but not special

Beautiful I love it, yet a little cheap looking at the same time. 9/10

7/10

Not bad. The spire is quite nice.

6/10

I like it. 8.0

fugly 4.5

Boring 6

one of my favourite towers in the world

Nothing special. 5.5/10.

8/10

7/10 nice one

Very nice and simplistic. Goes well with the rest of Sydney. I give it a 9/10. :okay:

Guess it's okay. 5.5/10

Hmm it's OK. The shape is not bad, the facade looks good and the crown is not bad.
Some lighting would help at night.
6.5

8/10 I like it, great facde, interesting top!

7.5/10

The facade could be better.

6.5
Not too bad, but not too good either, still a good tower to have in a skyline

Not one of Sydneys best, 7.

fav syd tower

6.5/10

Boring and a little too dark with the glass, giving it a black eye effect. The top and spire are nice.

9.5

Ill give it an 8 not so crazy about the windows!

nope 5/10

Looks better than the Sears Tower so I don't know why people don't give it a 10.

I gave it an 8.

Is a nice tower but nothing special. 8.0

5.5 / 10

Poor roof design.

3/10

Commie block.

It's not ugly, not too glamourous either, it just looks so...er...average. Everything about it is average; average height, average colour, average shapes, *yawn*. However, I do like the spire design at the top and that's its one stand-out feature. Other than that, it's pretty bland.
"7"

Forgettable

top could've been better

3/10

Commie block.

LOL Bullshit. I don't love it either but in the flesh its not a cheap building inside or out. It's rather expensively finished and A-Grade rental. It not worth a three and it's certainly not a commie block.
