This building is quite thin, at least the E-W dimension. Walking by it, it does not look large along those sides (what's gone up of it so far, anyway). This will possibly look quite striking from the N and S.

It would be pretty cool if they lit the setbacks at night. Although I'm not sure since those would technically be peoples personal terraces. Hopefully there's some sort of lighting
From my 3d model:
Getting some Comcast (Philly) vibes with this design. A positive IMO.
I quite like this project. Its bulk will do wonders to aid this portion of the skyline mass. Hopefully some of the surrounding blocks will fill in as seen in post #2003.

The more I see of this building, the more happy I am to have it in my top 5. Lovely neo deco.
