The fact that this building is still a successful model for mixed-use towers all over the world after 40 years says a whole lot!

To me this is the Chrysler Building of its era. It may not have been the tallest, but it certainly was the best (amongst the late 60's early 70's supertalls built).

A pool on the 44th floor? Hell yeah!

At least they haven't totally bastardized the base of the building either with some ginormous glassy postmodern sh*t for an entry (lookin' at YOU Sears Tower).
