Sorry for the terrible quality, this is just a screenshot from a youtube video, maybe I can eventually get a better copy of it from a DVD at home.

We take what we can get ! Nice one, arkhitektor.
Is it just me, or does anyone else have to *f o r c e* the phrase "Beneficial Life Building" when looking at "The Building Formerly Known As Gateway Tower West"? How about "Key Bank" when looking at that 351 foot box on State Street? I still struggle with the Kennecott Bldg...oops...Gateway Tower East...oops, Zions Bank Building. And the University Club Bldg, er, uhhh...136 E South Temple. And the Continental Bank Bldg...d'oh...Hotel Monaco. Anyone else remember other building name changes?
ONE Utah Center is that ONE coppertop building...yeeeaah, let's go with that...
Does anyone else remember the RDA nonsense and 40+ story tower 600-700 footer that was supposed to go in the center of Block 57 aka Gallivan Plaza?
I have to say that I'm much happier with the current setup, regardless of the lesser height. My ancient memory is telling me that a company named Lincoln...Savings & Loan or Development...or sumpin'...tried to develop it, and failed? I should've saved the newspaper clippings.
