I think the tallest tower strikes a balance with 9 DeKalb. I wouldn't want a similar tower at this site. The difference in designs allows the two towers to play well off each other.

I agree totally... and kudos to the developers for beating the NIMBYs to the punch with an awesome educational/infrastructural element. Saving the old infirmary building too as a cultural destination... the taller one balances out with 9 DeKalb so well and great that both are not just meant for the superluxury end. It adds a little flair even if it is still kind of conservative with that twist on the taller one.Another thing to look forward too... Brooklyn isn't playing anymore!
