A data center on Pearl Street near the Brooklyn Bridge has long been a complaint among locals — and now a study has solidified its stature as an eyesore.

The methodology? No better source than Twitter — the social-media site where users generally vent their many frustrations. Buildworld analyzed the number of negative tweets about disliked buildings for their ranking.

Despite the downtown tower’s widely agreed-upon hideousness, two other American properties have it beat in terms of design unpopularity. They’re Washington DC’s J. Edgar Hoover Building and Boston’s City Hall — both of which have blocky modernist looks. In terms of the international ranking, the Pearl Street atrocity fell behind what the company found to be the most unattractive building the world over: the Scottish Parliament Building in Edinburgh.
