Was it skyline changing? No. Could one see the building from the suburbs? Any impact was on the streetscape was on Martin Place. It was set back slightly from the street. It never blended in with the architecture lining the street. 

In 2018, demolition began on the building to accommodate the new Sydney Metro Station at Martin Place. A new, taller building is proposed for the site.
