Not sure. It could be; New Avalon's GENOM Tower is a pretty dull-looking building. It's been compared to an upended roll of mints. :)

That's the sort of mini-ziggurat off to the left of the frame. The white building just right of center is the Puckett's Landing ferry terminal (there's a ferry parked there, in fact), and the one just left of center with the clock tower is Knights Field. The building just behind it is the one Edison Carter was shooting from in Last Transport.
Boyce Memorial Medical Center is just barely visible (it's the black building mostly hidden by other structures to the left of the Entire State), as is the very tippy top of the Imperial Hotel Monolith, which can be seen peeking out from behind the building with the grey mansard roof to the Entire State's right.
Not visible in this shot: Claremont (including Mignola Point) and Salutown, which are off to the left of the frame, and the Oxbow River Bridge (spanning the mouth of the Oxbow River) and lower Crescent Heights, which are to the right. This is a view from the northeast of Puckett's Landing and northern City Center.
Strangely, the Aztechnology Pyramid isn't quite as obvious when viewed from the Crescent Heights side of the Oxbow, despite the fact that it's in northern City Center. Parallax does odd things when you're dealing with buildings of that size, and the Heights' slightly elevated sightline makes the Pyramid seem to "fall away" into the other buildings more than the view from the beach on Pérez Island.
