Yes it's beautiful. But without it's twin it looks out of place. Humbly, IMO.

I doubt but still hoping the crown will be lit from within like previous renders but i feel it's a lost cause...

I just noticed the bay windows are at their deepest and most pronounced in the centermost bays, and appear to get progressively flatter/slimmer in the outer bays. Or is it an optical illusion on my part?

Suspect it's due to cost, but maybe there was a wind tunnel-related reason as well.

It's most noticeable from the overhead aerial:

I think it is just an illusion of the extreme perspective from that angle.

It would be very noticeable from this angle but everything looks uniform"

Same.... It would make it look better at night

If parcel I or tribune ever get built I hope they have crown lighting.

This turned out really great though.

Hmmm... looks to me like an illusion, we're seeing the 5 center bays in the crown braced by hollow steel, vs the other bays braced by filled-in opaque concrete, so they look different. But yeah the distortion from the camera angle doesn't help lol

Gotcha. Thanks!

Any word on tower 2's timeline? I know this one has a ways to go before being fully completed, but I was curious to know if there have been rumblings of when they might start the next one.

Nope, and there probably won't be for a while. The real tell will be how much they invest in landscaping the future phase 2 site.
