^^^^Those pics are very nice to the eye. I can't wait to see your CBD develope even further.

I just don't think the twins go. They just aren't realistic to your city, but that's just my opinion. You of course have the final say.

Love the whole design but something wierd happened to the model sizes. Everything looks way to big for the city...

I agree with Dac that the twins dont fit in the city but the other designs look awesome and would be great if they were just a little bit scaled down a bit.

Yeah, I agree. The new buildings are just way too tall. That ESB based tower looks like it would be around 600 feet like Patrick said and the other sloped roof tower looks more like 900. The twins would be better with another design. Now that I see them in the city I think they would look good but like I said, with another design.

The twin towers would look good between 1,200 and 1,350 feet tall. Plus, if you wanna keep the Wentworth Tower in the top 5 you might have to shorten other buildings.

Not everything looks way too big. Just the new proposed buildings.

While everything looks great (maybe move the towers to a more midtown spot, I think Davis Inc and Reichert would look good as the tallest in Downtown) and yeah those towers are just to big, unless they are the tallests, keep em!

I think Davis would look great with bands, like the Citigroup Center.

And yes if your goin to keep them the tallest in "Downtown" dont change the heights, they look great

Sorry but I really don't like the twin towers. Something about the top shapes are just unappealing to me.

I agree. I really think they'll take away from that 'older' architectual charm that your city has. It's up to you, but I wouldn't hold on to them. It's not that the buildings themselves are bad, but to me they just don't fit in your city.

I really do like it. It'll create some architectual diversity to your city. It has an outstanding amount of detail, and I like the shape and how the facade plays into it. Can't wait to see it in the actual city.

Yeah, looks good. Did you leave it at the same height?

I would've liked it more if the curved wall went all the way up to the roof. But it still looks great. Is it residential?

The Davis is really cool. I must admit, I don't even think I have the skill to make a building with a curved facade like yours. Good work.
