can't wait for the little helipad on the top right. It'll be the building's signature

Wow! That first picture looks sci-fi! Specially with that bridge and the crane next to it!

Anyways, this looks amazing! Can't wait for the completion of this tower.

That last picture is pretty cool too! It looks like a canyon of glass! And those people looks extremely tiny on this tower. But then again... it is over 1,400 feet tall...
