A spire would help, but a well integrated spire. I've been saying all along the skyline needs more spires and peaks. Not everyone agrees. But we are beginning to see why I call for it.
Too many towers of similar height, and we could begin to have a plateau of a flat skyline - even at that great height.

But a future skyline is forming whether we like it or not, and at a relatively rapid pace.

Looking forward to seeing more details on this, hopefully before the week is out. There's a lot to unwrap here.


More looks around the area for context...
