I know Atlanta had the original, but theirs is shorter (453 feet compared to 360, which is 581 feet), is longer, and the design isn't exactly the same. I'm not suggesting ours is better purely because it's taller, but because of the proportions lending to a better scaled building. And 360 just seems to be a more evolved version of that design.

Atlanta - their's is called "Spire".
