It's funny because Sears doesn't really exist to that extent anymore partially because of blowing its budget on that tower and also partially by refusing to adapt to stuff like K-Mart and co.

I'd say it's not bad looking. I guess I'm attracted to the neo-futurism/glassy look in supertall buildings.

Technically it would be the Torre Reforma but while it's gone taller than pictured it's still not completed which technically becomes the third largest in a couple of years. Hard to keep track of these things in big cities.

meh, it's not an eyesore but I don't particularly like it.

The new WTC tries to cheat with a "spire"/antenna. Only top floor/roof should count. By that measure, I think the winner is that apartment tower by Central Park.

Anyway...

>Portland, Oregon - The Wells Fargo Center (116.4m/546ft). Finished in 1972.
>It's kind of ugly

It's a very generic 70's-era box building. And it's not even that tall for a major skyscraper. But the view is nice; I met with a lawyer near the top floor once and you can see a huge expanse of the city from his office window.

The WTC hadn't been tallest in the world since 1973, IIRC. The Petronas Twin Towers were the tallest as of 9/11, IIRC.
