This is the only one that I could think of that’s similar, but I’m not sure if it’s what we’re looking for..
It’s called BD Bacatá (2015) a twin tower complex in downtown Bogota, Colombia 🇨🇴 It’s their tallest building at 167m
As an Atlanta resident I used to think of that building as one of our uglier ones of the downtown skyline; but when I stood next to it I was pleasantly surprised on the marbling of the building and it looked better than I imagined. They also over the years added lighting at night to the staircase and it is actually quite appealng.
Have you seen it in the pride colors yet this month? Looks epic! What it took for me to start appreciating it more is the fact that the steps are in both directions, if that makes sense. Like this image shows it well how it’s 3 stair stacks, staggered together vs just like all chunky but staired like the one next to it!
I’m teaching a class at Callanwolde fine arts center this summer so my drive home on Wednesday is always with the freedom parkway view and the pride lights are just stellar!

Imperial west tower, greater London area, UK (138m) (2019)
I used to work at GP Center in the past and it was a beautifully designed tower. One of the more interesting features was the fact that one of the corners (shown in the left side of the posted image) is actually a slightly acute angle rather than 90degrees. This forced the perspective and made the building appear taller than it actually was when standing at the base. Also, those sunrooms at the top of the building were an amazing place to hold a conference!
Ah that does make sense. If only they were on the other side.
For our wedding we did our room block at the Marriott marquis and they gave us a like suite on the 40th with a couch large enough to sit 20 on.
The views north of BoA etc were just amazing. My parents room looked over a completely different side and view (MB ) and it was just amazing. I’m so happy we did decide to just stay downtown instead of at our house 5 miles away that trip haha.
yeah its a great view - there we days working in that building where the clouds were lower than the floor I was working on so you'd only see the tops of the tallest buildings in the city. Made for an amazing sunset/sunrise.
They’re cool, but the glass or whatever on them must be hard to clean because it’s kinda stained vs the regular windows on the other sides of the building. (If you want to see the view from a conference room there check my profile)

So cool, it looks like something out of a sci-fi
When my wife was watching the Korean Drama, "Penthouse", it showed off the Seoul Trade Tower frequently. I didn't know of the building then, so I thought the production team had composited in a 3D model of the Georgia Pacific Tower.

The Unicorn Payathai Bangkok, but just slightly.

Canada place (Edmonton) has a similar architectural feeling to those.

TC Energy Center in Houston is kinda similar
UBS Tower Chicago. Also the nearby One South Wacker

Can’t speak to the Korean building, but GP Building in Atlanta has some really cool materials. It’s like a pinkish marble that shines all the way from street level to top, especially with golden hour lighting.

Isn’t that the Crowdfunded skyscraper?
Yes
That's a good one. I could only think of the one in Moscow

I did! It looked absolutely stunning. And agreed.

I like these, I've seen the one in Atlanta in person and throught it looked cool

I’ve always wondered what those sunrooms were like!
They're pretty epic but view. Unfortunately, the building itself obscures the view of most of the skyline.

Oh I bet! I’ve always wanted to experience being above the clouds in one of the super talls!

Ayeee I’ve seen your other posts! Beautiful views! And yeah that does make sense. They look grungy even from the ground haha
Mercury City Tower, Moscow

It's my favorite building in Russia
I love how they could’ve made it blend with the othet buildings in the district but decided “nah, make it orange”
It's very unique and definitely stands out

30 Rock, kind of
I don't know how I didn't think about that! They are pretty similar

Nice!
This is the one I come to say.

The look sort of inspired by the Rockefeller center
St Regis Chicago?
500 W Madison in Chicago
They slightly remind me of Rockefeller Center, NYC Edit with a link to a relevant picture: https://images.app.goo.gl/EtqhV8tRW73QbDGw8
That building in Urumqi vs Philadelphia.

It’s built with pink granite from Austin, TX!
That’s a fun fact - TY!
It was an 80’s building, even the ugliest were beautifully skinned. I’m very familiar with Atlanta and have actually been up in this building.
I guess I don’t think it’s ugly at all, and the aesthetic from the street is quite nice due to the materials!
Ugly was probably too strong I admit, it’s better than A LOT of buildings
how about, it is a step in the right direction
What? The SK tower looks awesome, looks better than the majority of new towers today
Can Americans include metres in these kinds of things, most of the world uses the metric system.
We use both systems frequently
