Yeah, it's a great addition and will raise the bar for the skyline! It is definitely not bad and is average at worst. It also reminds me of the AON Center in LA which is wonderfully generic and was that city's tallest and ironically stands only 10 feet taller than this will. That blue light at the top will give the skyline at night some character for sure! It will pave the way for something over 1,000 feet. Once a city gets a building over 800 feet IMO, the skyline has matured.
