Way too out of place. I strongly dislike it and I hope it doesn’t go through, at least make it fit the other building aesthetic

It's not really out of place though. It's four blocks from the current tallest building in the state. The renderings don't do it any favors though by having the rest of the skyline look tiny and washed out in the background. They make the Fane tower look like it'sa towering behemoth halfway to Cranston. In reality, it's only going to be 20% taller than the Superman Building, and only twice as far from it as the Hospital Trust tower.

I just don’t think it fits the vibe of the area, it looks too modern and would stick out like a sore thumb.

You cannot develop an aesthetic successfully mixing old and new if you never build anything new.
