I beg to differ. With the new projects going up over the next few years, your have high rises in the 400-500 range creating a flat tabletop effect with the existing buildings and with the TB Tower and 50 First street, it will look like two candle sticks on top of the table.
As for "Hong Kong" esque, not even close. I travel to HK often and will actually be there next week. The only connection to HK is pelli's TB Tower is almost an exact copy of his IFC Tower in HK.
