  1. I like the tan brick seen in the concept art. This is another instance where they switched to an orange and the reality looks worse than the pictures

  2. Though I am sure the interior is probably pretty nice, I can’t imagine a more bland building in a highly visible area.

  3. First in well with Chicago’s tradition of vastly underutilizing land.

    • What a shame that the city allowed for such a mediocre building to be built in such a prime location. Chicago deserves better architecture!!

  4. They left out literally every single architectural detail. Every time I pass by I want to cry at the “half built” apartment somehow topping out.
