What really stinks is that designs for cancelled projects are never used again -its a damn shame.
If an architect wanted to finish or do a project in a vision similar to what was thought of before, maybe they could. I would want this tower to be taller than the Chrysler,but not too high so that the latter still has an influence in the area. And with the rezoning of Midtown East coming soon, we have a better chance of seeing another supertall in the area.
