I was a hater of this building for a long time. It is a shame how mediocre the design is in comparison to other recent mega skyscrapers worldwide. It's like a symbol of NYC's and the US's relative decline vs. the rest of the world. (Compare it the Burj Khalifa, for instance.)
But last time I was in NYC I warmed up to the building a bit. Seen from the lower west side around sunset it reflects the light in a pretty gorgeous way. So while the building may not be exceptional, it's not bad either.
