i know the tower isn't fully finished yet, but it is very short before that...enough to vote i think. and it is a lots of work to change all the titles again in a few weeks . I'll change the pics when it is fully completed

9/10 from me

8/10

I love the design and the cladding, but it could be little taller and thinner.

The spire is not very New York. The base looks fine though. I give it a 7.5 because it doesn't really add something valueable to the NY skyline imo.

I'm going to hold off until we get some more pics here, but from what I've seen, it's worth a 7.5 or an 8.

Striking design and cladding! But, the spire seems like a cheap shot just to get some extra feet for the height. 8/10.
