same view. Even if you removed the 126 foot lantern the cooling tower is still higher than the Comcast Center. Does it span the entire diameter of the building, no, but it's substantial nonetheless - at least in comparison to 'spires' that often look like an antenna rather than a substantive part of the structure (like a cooling tower usually does). The lantern is just icing on the cake, & it too at least from the renderings appears to be much more substantial in girth than the average spire.
Just standing at street level looking up at this thing is awesome, the colors of the glass are beautiful. When that lantern finally shoots up something like 150 feet higher than Comcast it's gonna kick some ass
