It barely looks wider than 432 park

The dimensions vary as it rises...

This tower screams for a spire!

Damn straight.

Hell, I'd be happy with four shorty ~75' spires at each corner of the parapet (like WTC-3 was supposed to have)

And i think those four spires should be made of glass and somehow morphed into forming a complete topping as what they did with the Shard. now that would be awesome

I wish that it will have one s at the end in case of that it will sharply domine the skyline cause it can exceed easily the 520m

Yes, like Chicago's Franklin Center:

http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=37

Franklin Center's spires are 121 ft tall and yet they don't look outrageously disproportionate. CPT can easily have 200 ft spires, perhaps 225 ft ones to bring its structural height back to the original 1775 ft. But I personally hope it will exceed 1776 ft because the 1WTC doesn't deserve to be considered the tallest building in the Americas. CPT is the true tallest.

I don't even think this one deserves to be tallest in New York (by roof), and am pulling for the Chase tower (yet another boxy building) to at least match in in height.

But this one needs that spire for skyline appearances.

I would agree with all this, though I'm hoping there will be taller proposals than CPT.

CPT would look much better with spire whether or not taller towers are planned, though.
