It's a great looking building, but not one that I'd want as the tallest in my city. I love Chicago because the two tallest are (at first glance) basic and "strong". Hancock is one of my favorites in the states - possibly my #1. It and willis enhance everything around them because they kinda "anchor" the skyline and make other buildings seem fancier and stand out more even though they don't necessarily have the height.
I love that they're black too. It's probably too late for PHiladelphia to build something like that (is anyone even building in that style anymore?) but I thought for a minute at the very early stages that CTC was going to use black/smoked glass, and I think that would have been incredible, even if it clashed with the rest of the CC buildings.
