As the crown gets closer to completion, my opinion of it is really starting to change. Looking better.

Could they have not used the same glass as the rest of the tower for the crown? Would have given it a cleaner, uniform look and an illusion of a taller tower

Those are gangster neighborhoods, so it makes sense.

Jeez, everyone seemed so happy with the renders but now that it appears that the real thing is very much what the renders showed, everyone is up in arms.

I think half the reason people come to this thread or this site is only so they can complain about something.

My memory is different than yours. Most were very dismissive of the renderings. Most found them incredibly boring. The appreciation for simple and elegant came later. The crown doesn't compliment that.

I rarely like crowns that are different from the rest of the building. Almost always prefer a uniform look
