i saw this tower the other day. absolutely huge. it must have the largest continuous floorplates of any skyscraper in the world...it is simply huge.

but it also looks distinctive. absolute class. it must have cost a fortune to build.

i don't really get the facade variations, but it's pleasing enough.

Avant-garde! My favourite building. Might appear a little hefty and short but it definitely ranks as one of the world's best, if not the best. It looks grand in the morning, but even more majestic at night. 10/10

Jeez, not every tower is going to be slim! I'm sure it's not intended to look slim considering all the square feet it has. It's beautiful, modern and striking. I've seen better photos of it than those on here- the entrances are fantastic as well. Best in Tokyo IMO.

Looks great at night - very futuristic.

Less interesting by day, although I like the way its bulk seems to dominate the surrounding area. Quite impressive in terms of sheer size and volume.
