It's the facade that really makes this one- if it were plain glass, or cheap minimalism, it wouldn't look half as nice, or stand out in any way. But those distinctive arched windows and granite (high quality material always helps!) really give this building a standout appearance. It must have something good going for it, if somebody was willing to pay $575 million for it recently!
