Nice height, nice shape, nice spire. I like the track lighting, which seems to echo the building's shape, but I think it would have been more harmonious if they'd made the rest of the detailing vertical to match it. BTW, that light dragon is AWESOME! 8:5 /10

Nice skyscraper, but too much like the Center.

A rather ordinary body (too boxy, not stucturally appalling but in perfect proportion ) yet wears posh and elegant clothes ( golden facade ) with a magnificient crown on the head (10/10 for the roof!)

This is for me the "ultimate" in skyscrapers. It may lack in the overall height department but it makes up for this with stunning design and aesthetics. From is green and gold cladding to the amazing lighting, it is a wonder to behold.

I am forever thankful that it did not go ahead as in the rendering, scary stuff there. It is a pity there was a funding issue and the tower did not max out at the height that the developers would have liked.

BTW for those that don't know the neons on the spire are an actual time piece, they change colour combinations according to the time of day and act much like a clock if you know how to read them.

My equal number 1 favourite with Shun Hing Square
I give it 10 and would give it 11 is I could.

Spire is nice!
I like triangular buildings, it gives a very dramatic effect.

New Jack City · March 11th, 2003, 02:45 AM

8.5/10..It's amazing! It reminds me of a modern ESB, but I had to take some points for the lighting at night. I think they over did it.

March 15th, 2003, 03:14 PM

This building is not good looking at all.....8.5
