As the WTC continues to be built out, along with the area south of it including 50 West, this will increasingly become mere fill which makes it decent fill I suppose, but still I would've preferred a completely generic glass box.

The area between Battery Place and the WTC (Battery City) is lacking architecturally. A lot of those buildings are relatively recent. I don't know why more taste wasn't used, but it is what it is.
