Having this block off the ugly west facade of Bisha from certain vantages, is another positive.

I'm curious if the building beside this in the render with the slant is this an actual proposal
?

- Where it's urban. And dense.
I think this looks quite tasteful. I think it's pretty promising.

The red cladding/crown and the height other than ~45 storeys should really help this one stand out against its neighbours. Looks good but a shame the ground level is so predictably bland.
Shame about the gas station remaining.

Has that Hudson vibe to it.

Height has been slightly reduced to 119.7m, bumping it out of the top 300 of The 100m List.

This is going to be a rental, if that hasn't already been made clear. Ground level has a leasing office.
…except that there's a parapet wall around the roof which appears on the drawings to add 1.25 more metres, so I have updated the database file to 121 m or 397 feet for now, pending further updates.

It's early days and all that. But the loss of colour is a real shame. And the precast portion looks more like a flimsy balcony motif than a foundation of the building. Go grid or go home, people! It doesn't look so cool or modern when strips of (mediocre) glazing occupy spaces where the eye expects a more solid geometry *cough* WCH *cough* Studio *cough* Picasso

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But colour was added, not removed.
Documents show real brick, and three different colours at that.

The most recent renderings showed red brick, no? Not the clearest rendering, maybe was just wishful thinking on my part.
I'm a huge fan of big projects with "complete" masonry (e.g. the Selby) and am frustrated by projects that come close but leave jarring gaps of glazing. To my eye it makes the masonry looks pasted on (hence flimsy) and reminds me of the kinds of facadectomies that bug me for similar reasons. But hey, all personal taste.
