Dangit it would have been nice if this one had another 30 floors in height on it. This would have been such a prominent, amazing stage to display a supertall.

But am I the only one that gets bothered by WPW? I know it was designed by a different team and it's pretty much blocked by WPS, but it just seems so out of place. Different facade and design elements from WPE AND WPS.
The development would look somewhat better if all three buildings were similar in design.
I'm actually leaning towards being ok with it. The diversity of that tower gives a little bit of a "city within a city" vibe to me. If they had all been the same and looked like part of a set it might have been too much. Something I'd have to think about more.
