Truly beautiful work on such wonderful architecture. Of course, I'm now always going to associate the previously unfamiliar word "badonkadonk" with this building, which will make for some fun and funky misunderstandings.

[b][img]http://www.queencitysquare.com/images/home_image.jpg[/img]I Have been waiting for this forever!! But this is not the tallest building in Cincinnati anymore, Great American Tower is now the current tallest building.

It's finished! It's on the STEX! And it's badonkadonkalicious!

Thanks to your patience and dedication, we have another beautiful Art Deco BAT on the STEX. However, this one is special because of the massive podium and the way the two towers are arranged on it - a highly unique download!

The roof textures are a great example to show how a roof can look authentic and interesting without much "junk" on it, and the rest of the textures are also up to your usual quality.

From zoom 4, the towers themselves impress, whereas on zoom 5, all those fine details on the walls of the podium make sure that this building is as valuable an addition to the street life of a city as it is to its skyline.

One of the best BATs in the 2011 Trixie season in my books, and perhaps one of the most highly (and longest) anticipated releases. Thank you so much for this one.

Thank you all so so much!!! :yes:

@Trillian2003: You know, I wasn't sure, and I found conflicting information. The most reliable thing I read suggested that Great American is the tallest only if you count its basements. In either case, it's close! Thanks!

Actually, floor wise, Carew Tower is still the tallest. But if you include the tiara(spelling) on the Great American Tower, Great American is the tallest.

Great work,

Though it is rather sad that 49 stories (was) the tallest building we had for a long time.

Our city slogan for Cincinnati is "Cincinnati: The city that tried!"

Wonderful!!! Is there any truth to the legend that Carew influenced the form of the Empire State Building? (They're very similar.) You'd think it would be the other way around (NYC's "ziggurat wedding cake" skyscrapers were influenced by that city's zoning laws and its skyscrapers eventually influenced the form of cities all over the world), but Carew predates the ESB by a couple of years.

Wow, that is a monster! Normally, I only use growable office buildings but I'll be plopping this big guy! Thanks! Love your stuff. 5/5
