The Bank of America tower is my favorite NYC skyscraper. I'm really really happy that we will be getting something similar in SLC!

Looks amazing from that angle! Glad the Planning Commission recommended the change. The top really did have a bit of a 111/222 vibe before. What a tower this has turned out to be!

I sent my Email to the architect Thursday, April 17, 2014 6:10 PM from my work e-mail. I would be more than happy to email you this email as proof. Private message me with your email address and I will send it to you.
Also my idea was for a different design. Google "bank of America tower in newyork" and you'll see images of what I had in mind & that I sent to the architect.
"I thought to a similar building, (much larger scale, but similar none the less). A smaller scaled version of the roof & spire on the Bank of America Tower in
New York might be something that the City Planning Commission couldn’t say we have too many of here in SLC."

So please before you start pointing the finger and claiming me of stealing your design. THINK...and do some research so you don't look so foolish.

Thanks for your time,
I think it's awesome that this sexy beast will have a stamp from folks here. And if I'm reading their email to you correctly, it will actually be 325? 5 feet above the highest roof point?

I too like the Bank of America tower, but I think the 151 has more in common and looks more similar to this...

151 is turning out to be absolutely beautiful. Infact, I would say Salt Lake is overdue to not only have some of the most beautiful historical architecture and modern public buildings west of Chicago, but now I think it will begin building some of the prettiest towers in the Western U.S. Here's to building more like the Regent and 151. I hope this will also help to encourage the soon to happen CCH to also raise the bar, and give us something other than a CCH Phoenix or Denver look a like.

Wow! This is very uncharacteristic of you Viperlord. You're usually the cool one on here. I can see some resemblance to the Bank of America tower. But, I think anyone would be foolish to say that my idea doesn't more closely resemble the revised design. Did you refer them to this thread? Maybe they saw my posts. Anyways, I think it's awesome that you emailed them, and I think your awesome for being a super skyscraper geek that watches the live planning sessions on tv. They probably did look on here and listened to your email. When it's a good idea, it's a good idea. I just thought, knowing how cool and reserved you've been on here that you would have recognized a possibility of my idea also having some influence. I don't want to be annoyingly boastful about this. It is exciting though, and kudos to the architect who realized the great idea(s) that we had. I'll private message you my email.

I am really loving how 151 has turn out. With each new rendering, it just keeps getting better and better. So if I'm not mistaken, we are now looking at a 19-story tower at 325FT.

^^^Slicing the roof was really not that much of a leap and I'm surprised the architect hadn't already thought of it. A number of forum members probably had the same thought and just didn't bother posting about it. Why keep trying to rain on Viperlord's parade?

^^^^^^^

Just for some clarification:
I'm not trying to say that Orlando stole my design or I stole his. I'm just stating facts in a chronological order. Also, its not a me vs Orlando or anybody vs anybody. Last time I checked we were booth rooting for the same thing, and that was "putting our thoughts and ideas into a format and presenting them to others". In the end we both have the same goal of getting the tower approved and built, and adding to the skyline.

Sorry if anyone's feelings were hurt, or if anyone was offended. I didn't intend to upset anyone.

-Thanks again for your time,

Hey, nimrod, if you could stop patting yourself on the back for a second to actually look over what I said, I've been consistent in mentioning that I don't have a problem with people wanting bigger homes and suburban living. What I disagree with is that you can't competently raise a family within the borders of Salt Lake - which is implied with your dumb ass comments.

Live in your big house with your big yard. I don't give a fuck. But shove the snark up your ass and then go back and re-read what I had to say on the matter - that raising a family in Salt Lake is not hard and no, it doesn't automatically mean you live in a box and share a fucking outhouse.
Wow, what the hells eating you? You're now coming out with name calling and flying off the deep end like i just insuited your mother. Bravo.
Thank god were not neighbors, don't need a self righteous, glass haft empty high-horse, know it all jerk who can't respect other people's opinions living next to me. If everybody is like that in Salt Lake City, then no thanks.
You and a few others act like you're so much better then the rest just because you live in a Urban setting. An area you will find ways about to bitch and whin about that Salt Lake isn't Urban enough or that how basically every building development that comes our way thru your nick-picky eyes is either "ugly" or "boring". I've been on here a long time and I can't really remember ANY development you came out and approved. Frankly, I'm glad you are not the Mayor or apart of the city council, because your nick picky-ness would scare the fuck out of me and any developer for that matter.
Frankly, I've grown tried of this forum and the way I've been treated over the years. In a nut shell, you have treated me like shit since day one of me joining and each time I posted a development, you would always come on and shot it down and try to make me feel stupid by treating me like I was some clueless child. Sadly we have lost a few good forumers over the years due to them not really feeling like their opinions matter and I see why. To you and a few others we are nothing more then burb rats trying to destroy your way of Urban life just because we choose not to live downtown for whatever reasons.
Bullshi that people would comment on here saying.....Basically, I'm selfish because I live in a house that has a living room, plus a dining room, plus my two kids each have their own room and their own bathroom? Excuse me if I don't want my family packed in like a can of sardines in some tiny downtown apartment or Condo. Give me a break. Downtown living isn't for everybody. And the sooner you guys can get that thru your thick self center skulls the better. Tried of being treated like some dummy just because we don't always agree on things.

Peace out.




I'm done

Not to keep shit brewing but SLC Projects I agree with you I've read enough of comrades posts to just skip through em now.

I appreciate your insight SLC.

That said I wish they would make 151 the new tallest it would be so sexy with another 10-15 stories With the angles ahh

Projects, you know there are many of us who appreciate your candor and participation. Don't take Comrade's posts too personally though. Certainly his style of posting is never going to illicit a group hug. However, there are plenty of members on the forum with different enough styles, who keep things balanced and in check.

Orlando and Viperlord, I'm kind of surprised that either one of you might think that your idea was original. Oh, and I'm not presuming that you thought your idea was original Viperlord. You're probably just thinking you beat everyone else on the forum to the punch, by actually sending in your thoughts before anyone else. I had exactly the same vision as you two, but I just didn't send it in. I'm sure there were a number of forum members and council members who basically envisioned exactly the same resolution. Hey, I've won numerous design awards and accolades in a specific field. I've also been around creative situations long enough to know that creative minds often think alike. It's usually about just beating the next guy to the punch first.

Now, now Projects. We all know you're not leaving.. You like development too much and this is the best place for it. I've seen you attempt to leave before and you always come back.

Like Delts said, just don't take it personal.. I personally like Comrade's posts and style even if we don't agree on everything. I think he adds a great deal here. This is America.. If everyone agreed or thought the same, it would be boring.

It's likely that Viperlord's actual correspondence with the architects influenced the final design of 151 South State Street. Your suggestion of the slanted roof was likely a mere coincidence. But you know what they say, great minds think alike.

It's refreshing to see a tower that actually gained height through the development process instead of being scaled down.
