I had the pleasure of watching this one rise in person. For me, it's only a decent tower. The cladding should have been made much higher at the top of the tower. There's no good finish like 2IFC's teeth. Also, the glass might be a bit too reflective.
9 / 10

It should be about 20m taller.... not just to be taller, but I feel it's a bit fat. That extra heigh would help its height/width ratio and make it more slender.
The crown could do with a slightly better finish. But yeah I do like it.

This turned out really well. My only regret is its location, too far to be prominent when viewed from TST.
Still, 10.

Yeah... to bad it is so isolated from the CBD, and is surrounded by all those commie blocks.
A bit higher and a better location and it would be a 10.
P.S.
The shape and cladding would have fit perfect near ICC. :kiss:

A great tower, walked under it a few months back when it was closing completion! 9/10!

This has to be one of the most generic-looking supertall buildings on Earth. I mean you don't have to be tacky to be distinctive, just look at 2IFC. I suppose that's because 300+ is becoming common place.
Sorry, I don't see anything attractive here.
5/10.

2 years ago this tower would've impressed me, but we are getting spoilt on these forums with the quality of 300m+ buildings going up around the globe. a distinctly average 6.5/10
