Not bad.
Chad March 13th, 2004, 03:25 PM The top just looks awsome indeed, Facade just at it's best for residential and the shape is just amazingly slender for Postmodern style......I really love this tower 8/10......:)

I like it, and it's tall.

Muse March 13th, 2004, 11:41 PM It's tall and slender and looks great at night with its 12 orange globes flanking its pyramidical crown:

renell December 18th, 2004, 01:58 AM 7/10 it looks very much an odd one out in CBD Sydney.
AtlanticaC5 December 18th, 2004, 12:58 PM 7.5/10 It looks quite nice, the spire looks good
CULWULLA December 18th, 2004, 01:06 PM this is a great apartment tower! it really did pave way for the tall apartments in the CBD.
i mean for what it is, its not a bad block of flats. the uppper section could of been a boring flat top but architet=cts di=ecided to give it some flare and added a NYC style siluette.
when compelted in 1997, its 600ft/183m spire was highest point for a residential tower in Southern hemisphere.
9/10

Accura4Matalan May 14th, 2005, 05:39 PM 7/10. The roof is impressive :)
Morn May 26th, 2005, 08:13 AM 8, I love it, lots of detail with windows that look like a normal house.
I think the architect must love the empire state building though.
CULWULLA May 26th, 2005, 08:36 AM its a beuaty.
when completed in 1997, it was tallest residential bldg in Southern hemipshere at 600ft!

ncik June 29th, 2005, 12:23 PM Century Tower seems to stand out due to the towers next to it (excl. HSBC tower) are very dull in colour and design.

cyborg81 September 29th, 2007, 03:11 PM i used to live in this tower b4 movin to world tower this year.from my experience it's a very nice tower there4 i'm gonna give it 9/10
Brendan September 30th, 2007, 04:20 AM 8/10.
This tower is fairly nice, IMO. It is not one of the most iconic in Sydney however it's slender form and classy facade make it one of the more beautiful residential buildings in Sydney.
