The only thing that sucks about this building is that it isn't taller

Is no one going to talk about the guy wearing the computer monitor emoji helmet? Or was this just a test to prove that this tower is so stunning that no one noticed?

Goddang, this is one hell of a building. Quite honestly, one of the best towers we've seen in North America in a very very long time.
