8.5/10

nice building!

Caledon1981 · November 12th, 2002, 09:42 PM

i dunno looks like it was made out of legos . . 6/10 for being #99!

Liz L · November 13th, 2002, 03:20 PM

6.5/10 - The overall shape gives it a good silhpiette - the setbacks help the height, and the small butresses are a good touch - yes, it echoes the Empire State a bit, though the ESB is way ahead.
The facade just isn't that impressive though; there's simply too much of that drab stone. It desperately needs more glass or metal or something....

Jeff from Winnipeg · November 18th, 2002, 07:26 AM

Uninspired... Blah -> 5/10

De Snor · November 22nd, 2002, 11:00 PM

A cheap copy of the ESB

JacobRit · November 23rd, 2002, 01:57 AM

luis4083 · December 3rd, 2002, 02:41 PM

***SeeMacau*** · January 2nd, 2003, 02:20 AM

Only 28 storey but it looks so tall
But the building doesn't suit the skylines

3/10

Complete failure. Pathetic attempt at post modernism.

January 6th, 2003, 08:57 AM

It doesn't work for me. I think it looks like a cheap imitation of the Empire State Building.

4/10

Bobdreamz · January 19th, 2003, 08:30 PM

yeah the design does resemble the ESB but what a cheap imitation....god the ESB in Las Vegas looks better than this!....LOL...4/10

BMXican · February 28th, 2003, 02:01 PM

I like it for some unexplainable reasons, nice to look at in the skyline - 7/10

renell · March 3rd, 2003, 08:27 PM

i don't really like the top part, looks like it was just added for height, considering it has only 28 and yet 750+ft. and the color of this building is quite ugly as well...

well this ugly design might have been consequences for like, better earthquake resistant building. i just hope so
