Nice, the climbing forms have finally been removed from the core.

All these buildings have nice qualities. They are all very different and as a whole are very chaotic to me. The second photo looks surreal. If the three towers were in a line then the chaos would not intrude. I know many will disagree, however, I hope my next trip to the city will prove me wrong.

^That's just one vantage point that doesn't balance out. There are plenty more vantage points that do.

I agree...to a degree. Having a clean slate as the powers that be had, the road system separates everything before the tunnel and these three towers have been placed as suburban, plaza towers from the 1970's. The whole of the design for the area is 5 decades late. These three towers look great, however, they fight each other for attention.

I am just saying that this whole area had great potential....and was left to much less than possible. One group decided this and they were not aware of the major problems they were dictating. Respectfully; Visually and from the pedestrian point of view this area will be a [ less than pleasing ] place to be in or look at.

Look at all the empty space between the three buildings. It could easily be filled with another giant tower.

It's not what I'm wishing for though.
I just regret the lack of density. It does look suburban, like Aus Tex said.
Closer together, like the towers of Dubai Marina, or the former WTC, woud have been better.

Does anyone know what floor this is on, the height, and when it will top out? Thanks for all the great pictures
