[Jibba]

This design is certainly reminiscent of Jin Mao in some respects (particularly the telescoping form of the setbacks), so it is not surprising that bits of this design would later be incorporated into Jin Mao.

I'm not sure how disappointed I am that this was never constructed. Another 1000+ ft. tower would have been nice, but the amount of detailing to the facade that is present (that I can glean from just these two photos, anyway) leaves a lot of potential for error in that department. I also find the buttresses on the crown to be just as fussy as the ones on Tribune Tower.
