Station Park | 18, 28, 36, 40, 50 fl | U/C
About time, I've pestered them for weeks to get those up so people can finally see the project.

Building E is going to look great, I hope! I forget what the files say - if anything (been a while since I've studied them) - so I can't remember the materials used on the 44 floor tower. That said, COR-TEN steel would be absolutely perfect for those brown looking sections. One of my favourite towers at the Leeds Beckett University in Leeds, England uses COR-TEN in a very similar design manner and I think it would make Building E of Station Park be one of the true standouts of current architectural design in the region if it tried to do something similar.

Broadcasting Tower, Leeds, England:

If you need a visual example as to high 155 meters is, take about 1 floor off the tallest tower you see here in Manchester and see. This thing is going to look massive for us. I suspect it'll start the game where developers start to one up each other and build even taller (seriously), which happens in most important cities. It's already taller than 30 Francis, which has the same number of floors.
