to add to skyguy... still disappointed they had this prime location and couldn't finish it off with a proper centerpiece. sure, it's a shiny, sleek tower, but not enough of a distinguishing factor. if they added 50-100ft and a lantern like a shorter version of the one on the comcast technology center in philly (lit up in salesforce blue?) you could have a distinguished tower in one of the most prominent, historic sites in the city, if not the whole nation.

surprising coming from Salesforce seeing their towers in other cities tend to stand out from their surroundings creatively and tastefully... SF, Indy, hell even NY with their glass.
