This one was always one of my favorite buildings, but the more I look at it the more I realize how overly bulky it is. It also irks me how the setbacks aren't all equally proportioned. My third complaint about the building is the sides are too plain and cold looking. I think if they would have did the windows/glass similar to Atlanta's One Atlantic Center or Detroit's One Detroit Center (formerly the Comerica Tower) than I think it would look better. Lastly, I think this building is starting to look dated, mainly due to its base, which also looks cold and uninviting.

With all that said, I do think the overall idea works and is pretty cool. I love the peaks and spires. I'm all about sipires and peaks and all that. This is still an awesome building.
