This is one of my favorite angles of the city. Is it difficult to get to this location?

I really hope that a new tallest will be in that beautiful view in a few years.

No its no difficult.  Just go to the courthouse, go through security and ride the elevators up.  Pic was taken from the window in the elevator bay on the 5th floor.

If you’re lucky enough to get jury duty, then maybe one day you can experience it. I suggest registering to vote.

Hopefully, the crown will be finished and illuminated by the first nationally-broadcast game.

[SgtCampsalot]

^Indeed.

Anyone know whether the pyramid top will have multi-colored LED abilities like everything else these days?

I keep telling people it will. Don't make a liar out of me.

We’ve got just over a month. Cowboys game will be Fox’s America’s game of the week. Hopefully they can get this guy topped out!

By my estimates, this will be topped out as early as the week of 9/9 so it's possible it's done by that game but that doesn't include the pyramid. Also, I'm not betting on it.

It’s a nice looking building.

 

im not sure why some of you (used to?) hate it so much.

Still do.  Design and materials.  If this was a less prominent building it would bother me less.

for every floor they add to the skinny part, I hate this building more and more. Its fine straight on, but from the angles, its awkward proportions drive me mad. I don't expect the pyramid to help its situation.

 

EDIT: that said, I'll just have to learn not to hate it, its here to stay in one of the best skylines in the country. I just hope Legacy Union exercises some bit of creative liberty carving out the rest of the acreage. 10 acres of beige would be detrimental to uptown.

I continue to love this building despite my friend above not liking it.  (Please take note Mr Harris as the topping off must be soon mid Sept maybe?  I will be around town)

Today and your twofer with Tryon Place in the foreground.   Love the 2nd photo Crane city!  Charlotte Rising.

Any idea how many floors are remaining at the 'skinny stage'?  Anyway - Here's to hoping all remaining sections of LU add significant height!

I believe it has one more normal floor, then a larger top floor, and a mechanical floor. Then the pyramid will begin. Well over 100 feet left. 

I like this building much better now, than in the plans, though I never hated it. Was just kind of boring. The tower does a lot for the skyline as a whole, as opposed to being an individual tower.

Its either 2 full floors or 3 full floors, then a 1.5 floor tall  cornice, after that the pyramid. I've seen it drawn both ways, and I'm still confused lol
