I like, it looks kind of gothic. They're building like crazy in the uptown/galleria area. I'm seeing construction cranes everywhere.

Wish I could change the title of the thread. The tower isn't "proposed" yet I don't believe, just a marketing rendering of what might/could be. I dig it too and hope it gets built in this form. It would be a great addition to Uptown Park.

Uptown is just nuts now. My friends in Larchmont have seen housing values go up to ridiculous levels. 350,000 for Plain Jane houses, many with major issues, not to mention anything but large. This time I agree with you, 14Bricks. That building looks awesome.

That looks like something that would be in Upper East Side Manhattan.

Would look good in downtown on Main where the Shamrock Tower was proposed back in 04.

I liked the Shamrock Tower design, so I'm disappointed they couldn't get it built. This one is a bit more funky, in the Randall Davis style, but I don't object too much. Perhaps the final product will be be toned down a bit, but still interesting, if it were to get built.

I'm glad it's going to be in Uptown. It has more potential than Downtown. Downtown has a nice skyline, but that's about it. The sidewalks roll up at 6.
