Now crowns I can dig. They definitely add alot to the overall impression a tower gives me. |

Another side benefit to the spire at this point would be an overall height of 1850' to 1869' based on the size of the spire as originally proposed for the 1478' version... |

I think towers like BoA are the ones I was referring. BoA is listed at 1200 feet because of its spire. Its highest occupied floor is only 769 feet and then it has a large crown also. You can call BoA a supertall to pad the city stats but when looking at it, it does not overwhelm like a supertall should. |
I'm a little concerned as to how the curtain wall is going to play out in terms of looks. This is one of the first curtain walls I have seen in a long time that actually has framing around each pane of glass (I'm going off the sample section as shown on Yimby's page) The trend over the last decade or so has been edge to edge glass with no framing when using curtain wall architecture...
http://www.yimbynews.com/wp-content/...-3-777x421.jpg my favorite early render of this tower shows it with a frameless curtain wall design (below)... https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...539a251369.jpg |
A roof height approaching 500m is quite serious. Spire or not, CPT will have a huge impact on the skyline. And it ain't that skinny either.

hmm. so maybe that 1792 was leaked a while back, but Barnett hushed it because it wants it to be a suprise.
Forget the not breaking 1776 out of courtesy. 1 WTC's rooftop will be 200 feet lower than this ones, this one deserves to be referred to as number 1. |
i'm quite surprised this thread is not blowing up. A NEW TALLEST FOR THE U.S

The only reason I can think of a crane needing to be nearly 250 ft higher than the top of the building would be for the installation of a spire. 432's crane certainly wasn't at 1650 ft...

At the very least, the tower crane document is a second confirmation of the 1569 ft roof/parapet height...:yes:
