You do realize that both las vegas, and SF have supertalls in the works, right?
I think in the coming years, there will be many cities trying to built >1000 ft highrises. There is no doubt that it adds major exclamation points to the skyline.
Miami has a great growing skyline with respectable ht. I think a new supertall would be great, and thank god this one has girth! I know tall and thin is in, but a girthy giant would be good for the miami skyline to break up the monotony of mostly thin residential buildings.
