I remember thinking the Brookfield proposal was very nice but the Extell proposal was drop dead gorgeous and brilliant. Good to see that the younger me was right on the money. Geeesh, it's just so beautiful and cool. Now we know Extell would have neutered the design completely but at least we have those pictures.
I don't remember exactly how long it's been (so much has gone on since), but it was before the financial markets caved and everything everywhere was put on hold. But I do remember Brookfield's being a favorite.

Now we'll just sit back and wait for this next phase to see who Related selects to design these towers.
