I think it needs to be a tapered building (either through setbacks or just tapering) topped by a spire of 1,700 or so feet. If it were too similar in height to Vandy, I wouldn't want that too much, as I think not only would it take away from each tower, but Chrysler as well.

This doesn't look too bad though (towers of similar height)...















But with so many coming towers, we could be on our way to something like this...
