Then the renderings are visually accurate, its the roof that is too short. If they end up building this as-is (which they probably will as I don't see a design change this late in the game) then the building, at least for me, is lacking. Great addition to the skyline but could have been much more...

Not sure why they didn't go 1000' to the roof w/ a 120' spire/core....
