But yeah, the design at the top grows on you. Keep in mind that this particular model doesn't give exact details.

In just as much the same manner as 53W53/TVerre is giving off a Hancock Toweresque vibe, I'm now getting the same feeling when doing a compare/contrast with the Transamerica Pyramid in SF.

Yes, the top of the building with all of the setbacks is where the multi-level observation deck will be.

The lower open deck facing Grand Central is tenants only. As for the massive opening a little above that, I'm not sure that's still in the current plan.
