I suspect that 625 Madison is going to be impressive too.

The lighting makes this building absolutely spectacular.

I think it's the best building built in America in around 100 years.

The only extant one that can compare is Sears in Chicago.

I agree.

I would hardly call this the best building built in America in 100 years, but it's a beauty, and that's all that matters.

Overcast or sunrise, a glorious site to see....

The top works, so do the diamonds lighting; but the striped lighting of the lower portion may be a bit much to look at. I am not saying I hate it, but do wonder if perhaps it makes the building a little blinding to look at.

Nonetheless this is a PHENOMENAL tower from base all the way to the top.

let's see if they can even get those vertical lighting elements on the north and south facades uniformly lit without any breaks--they've got a long way to go. The Merdeka 118 in KL still hasn't managed to get their lighting down pat. here's hoping it works out.
