That honor goes to 5 Beekman. 3 WTC is a Victoria Secret model compared to 5 Beekman and the damage it has done to this great skyline.

IMO, 4 WTC is the 2nd best looking tower in the complex. Sure its minimalistic, but it works, and it always looks good at every angle. Its just classy you know. Elegant. 4 WTC never did any harm to anybody. Never demanded respect. Its just there, gracefully inhabiting the skyline. Unlike 5 Beekman, who is a disheveled drunk in our skyline. The opposite of classy, with its obnoxious crown and cheap, grey wall facade.
