This building is totally looking like Raleigh/NC midcentury governmental architecture. Tear down one and build another one taller.

Except it is tall not long, and looks good instead of bad.

Pretend you’re the president and file a $15B lawsuit.

So, assuming we count those first 3 taller ceiling sections as 3 separate floors, it appears they’re halfway done with floor 14 (are we still doing the “no 13th floor” bullshit? Is it actually 14th or “15th” floor?) - so 3 more stories + parapet wall to go? Is that why there’s been confusion over it being 17 or 18 stories? Will the top floor be the 18th, omitting the 13th floor, or will this just be known as a 17 story building?

Sadly, I don’t know those answers.
I apologize on behalf of @GucciLittlePig for not being a better tour guide.

That 13th floor thing bothers me so much. It drives me nuts. Same thing with there being no year 0. Bah.

“My hotel doesn’t have a 13th Floor because of superstition, but c’mon man… People on the 14th floor, you know what floor you’re really on! ‘What room are you in?’ ‘1401’. ‘No, you’re NOT. Jump out the window, you will die earlier!’” - Mitch

By this logic, we shouldn’t have Friday’s either.
Some Chinese buildings skip multiple floors because they’ve got enough history to have a bunch of unlucky numbers! So it could be even stupider.

looks pretty sharp to me.
Its simple. The missing thirteenth floor is called Freemasonry… The same with hanging a Christmas tree after finishing most highrises.
I saw an American flag up at this building today. Does that mean it’s topped out, or did they just want to remind me what country I live in since it’s small and easy to forget"
1.618…. Thats all…. There is nothing more to discuss…
