you gotta love how the base of the spire is fully prominent/sticking out. such anticipation/suspense built.
And as for the view, i understand why people would rather face the skyline, than be in it, but for me, personally, it seems too awesome being in the centre of it all, looking down on bay/king, in the leagues with all the other huge office towers in the area. it is what i call an "epic" view. Shangri-la would be my 2nd choice for view, followed by Four Seasons/Aura. Aura by far has the best 360 degree views, since it's smack in the middle of the skyline. And Shangri-la has the best of both worlds, it's right on the edge of the CBD, but close enough to all the big skyscrapers, yet, has a clear view to the west.
