Back in the 60s you had public funded monuments like the St. Louis arch, now we consider it lucky if we can land a corporate attraction that likely none of us will ever enter.

I think it will also serve as a testing center for new technology.

Yeah, it has several test shafts in it for elevator testing and a 3 level observation venue (rentable I believe) on top.

The elevators should look directly outside like some horrifying amusement park ride.

I think this will be the driver that eventually gets transit up to cumberland area. This project exceeded my expectations, however, I personally have not been. Is anyone aware of what type of difference (ridership/transit times) the 75 toll lanes had on the bus transit between Cobb and Downtown?

I do not understand the hate for Cobb County.

(and I am assuming you know it's not a condo tower)

Yea I see no reason to hate on Cumberland or Cobb County. I lived in Cumberland for over 15 years and it is really nice place. Nice balance of urban and suburban. Many mid size cities would kill for this skyline (much less all the amenities) and the Thyssenkrupp clearly stands out.

Wow, I have never seen this shot before. We always only think of downtown, midtown and Buckhead in terms of skyline. Your comment is correct. A lot of places would love to have this.

Well, since I've never been on your balcony that would makes sense.

STUNNING PIC^^^^^and view... Thanks Julien..

Julien · #57 Posted **Apr 15, 2021, 10:28 PM**

Fun Fact. In 1864 General Sherman got his first look at Atlanta standing here.

bigstick · #58 Posted **May 30, 2021, 11:48 AM**

How do you all feel about this after completed? Is it an eyesore? Should it have been built somewhere else in the city? Discuss?

Are they planning some kind of lighting on this blank wall? Please say "yes."
