I personally don't mind the towers myself, and I really like what they did with the indented part on the one tower above the podium, but I do feel like it could be better. Maybe if there could be some more offset "boxes" with outlines and maybe have the balconies protruding less, it would be better.

I mean, I would be fine if this gets built as it is, but there will probably be some changes

This is a bit confusing, I can't tell if they mean the tallest building is a 170m, 56-story tower or a 200m, 66-story tower.
 
@Daveography, crunching numbers and translating English into English it looks like they really are proposing 66 and 56 storey towers. The floor to floor for apartments kind of justifies that rationale. In either case the renderings are way off. Did you get a response from Planning?

@Daveography , come on man and "reach out" already;)

@archited any chance that Mr.Wolfe could offer any further info on the current proposal... ?
Very impressive height & a few design tweaks and then we've got a winner.
 
Kirkor is certainly capable of much better, and, since the renderings are so far off the proposed potential build-out, I agree @Toddbrummet that there will at least be a round two of design effort. I guess the first round was just a door-opener. BTW welcome to Skyrise E-edition!
 
Excellent Tec-work @Daveography -- it still means that renderings are not accurate and there is still hope for better solutions. Something that puzzles me is the separate-ness of the two buildings in the only renderings that we have to go by. Is this a case of maximizing land value for a sale -- two projects moving separately? Or is this just a City lane issue? Maybe the renderings are placeholders until some site issues are better resolved. When I mix all of this with the misperceptions promulgated by the Wolfe, I wonder...
