[QUOTE=wrabbit;4608743]^ Slender she is. The verticals are the best thing about this tower, faint praise though it may be.

I wholeheartedly agree it's admirable that it wasn't built on top of a parking podium, but to me these pics show that the lower portion of the tower looks like a different building. I could really imagine that it's a midrise right next to the tower. The upper portion (sans the hideous top) bears some resemblance to the beautiful verticality of the Empire State Building.
