The worst feature about 500 W 2nd is its bulk/length, especially in that it faces Auditorium Shores. But if bulk is necessary for office buildings then so be it; we need more than just residential, hotels, and entertainment downtown.

I don't mind this one. It's a bit squatty, though.
As for Northshore, I think many posters didn't like it when it was first announced. The color has changed a bit since then, but the tiered portion has remained the same. I've liked it since the start. I really like the tiered look, and am looking forward to seeing how they feature that waterfall-esque facade on the south side.
