This could be AB's first award for "Most impressive building that may actually be too tall".

This thing is a masterpiece! I’m glad that it’s darker than the renders showed.

So you don’t think that’s just a weeeee bit of an exaggeration?

Great question. I want to answer “No, with a long BUT”, but also any sort of compromise that leaves any of the outside facade standing is most likely going to look like some Frankenstein-y mismatch. Demolition seems like the safest bet. EDIT: Then again, if they can do some sort of treatment a...
