If you ask Goldman Sachs, they probably think their headquarters downtown is a masterpiece. LOL.
Obviously I am hoping for some architectural marvel (maybe a Ping An?) but I wouldn't be surprised if we get a taller version of 300 Madison or 250 West 55th.

Well, that is a massive over-generalization...And if we are speaking in generalizations as far as "bean counters", there are big differences between investment bankers and traders, which make up a significant portion of JPMorgan, and consumer and wholesale bankers or wealth management professionals. Anyway, JPMorgan is not going to be drafting the plans. They will hire an architectural and design team and ask for a showstopper.
