It should have been. I personally think they blew the design at the top. After looking at San Fran's Transbay tower, the various Hudson Yards proposals and a few others, Foster has underwhelmed with this building.

I also don't buy the whole "it takes extreme costs to build higher" argument. If that were truly the case, there would be very few, if any new super tall buildings proposed, let alone built.

I realize I'm looking at this through the lens of a skyscraper enthusiast and not a CEO of a client company but, then again, that's the point of this site, right?
