I've been thinking a lot about this site, and I think this is my #1 choice for the location of a 1KCP-sized landmark skyscraper. Something like the renderings normalthings made. I think the twisty tower Copaken has been showing is too small for the site.
- Permanent views facing south, due to the location of the Sprint Center.
- Visually fills in gaps in the skyline at pretty much every conceivable angle.
- Proximity to the Power and Light District.
- Area already has some big flashy buildings, so it would fit in well while still standing out from the south.
- The section of the Sprint Center where the College Basketball Experience is in has a distinct urban edge that seems to suggest a building across the street.
Most of all, an extra tall building would give some balance to the Sprint Center, which currently dominates the area like a landed UFO. I'm imagining their relationship being like that of the CN Tower and SkyDome in Toronto.
