The high rise designed by Goettsch Partners will have a glass curtain wall enveloping its rectangular massing, with hundreds of dark recessed windows. Its roofline will be offset into two distinctive heights, while the first floor will be lined with exposed brick columns along Van Buren Street.

Did Ted Moseby design this? Better than dirt I guess. Yay?
I mean, comparing it to 1044 W Van Buren it’s just a world class design. And on its own not bad at all for this location
The complaints on designs on this site are so annoying but this was insanely funny. Hahaha!
Also, yea, this is just filler. what kind of stellar building would have fit in as an expressway’s wall a block away from a target. Let’s get real. A solid design like the Brooklyn Tower would not have fit in here.
Search “The Frame” (1101 Van Buren designed by STL.) It was leagues above this design and would have fit in with “Landmark”/Fulton Market a lot better. No one expects a masterpiece here but being ‘filler’ isn’t a good excuse for banality. Many buildings disregarded as being filler actually have a lot of visibility which developers/architects should be conscious of.
