Tower on the left is 50 HY (Mc D's) and on the Right is 55 HY (extell)









View from the West


If you compare the height of 15 HY (Culture) and 55 HY (Extell), it looks like 55 HY is aprox 800ft In height is 15 HY is 870ft.

While I am disappointed with the loss of the setbacks at E, I'm really digging the "faux-twist" facade. The shape, rounding as it rises, will be a sweet contrast to Girasole and a *much* better complement now to the "Corset". And I see that the stone/glass patterned combo that was originally slated to transit to all glass will be done throughout.
Nice Touches, indeed.

It seems to me at this point it's only right that the 15/30H-North&Coach combo-whatever should have the setbacks. And the MickeyD's tower...Whoa, baby. Perhaps just a tad plump...but what else to expect from a tower occupying a fast-food joint? The facade treatment here should stay as is.
