But at the same time some people seem to be very against it. I think it adds a nice twist and some extra character to the design of the building.

Thoughts?

In my opinion, I love that the top will turn to gold and silver, classic colors that will make this building stand out even more (especially with all the taller scrapers rising around it).

Can you imagine 111 W 57th in this scene (below), soaring well above Verre, forming a tight, dense, step-wise pinnacleā€¦ elegant architecture and gold accents playing off each other, and both playing off the lush greens of the park and surroundingsā€¦
