The way it tapers to its thin but stately top is a crown that stands out gloriously, no mere flat top here!

Can't wait to see the crown lighting.
The cross-bracing structure in the crown is a lot more visible than the renderings showed. I like it though. |
The visibility of the cross bracing really bugs me; it muddles the V-shape design giving the top of the building more of "..." ending than a "!!!". Overall an elegant tower though.

From an angle in which you could actually see it, I find that it adds an elegant touch to what would be an otherwise boxy frame.

How many years of construction to this point? Understandably a tall & complex structure, but it seems to have taken longer than most.

This skyscraper started construction in 2015 and expected to be completed this year. It’s seems long but if you look (zooming in) closer, you might notice that it has completed its glass panels on the top.

i can't imagine the $ the construction team is making with this so dragged out. at least i hope they are getting paid as it seems so stuck lately. good for them i guess.
