  1. 22 story building, not 15…

  2. Chicago keeps failing by putting up smaller buildings. Oh that’s because the city can’t afford any tall buildings

    • What an odd comment.

      • Lol, you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m guessing you can’t afford to put more thought into your stupid comment?

    • Maybe it’s a good thing because the city is focused on filling up so many of these parking lot eyesores that have been plaguing the downtown area instead of just randomly sticking a super tall that doesn’t really fit the aesthetic of the Chicago skyline. Maybe the demand for building super talls all over the place just isn’t there. What’s your solution to this? Have you done any thinking or research on this?

    • City finances have nothing to do with private developments. Also, supertalls are a dying breed. I expect New York to be the only city where it is common once this Miami building boom dies off. I prefer 10 good developments over 1 tacky supertall that sucks up all the demand while having a lifeless base.

  3. Why so much retail in virtually every building ? Have developers and the city not heard of on line shopping decimating brick and mortar retail ?
    Worried that too many empty storefronts being created where there is no need or desire.

    • I like an excess of walkable retail. If there is more of it, the rent will be cheaper. Wait…are you the same George who whines about parking garages?

  4. Odd they didn’t go taller but oh well. Interiors look nice at least.

  5. There are so many nimby’s in this city who cry to alderman about heights of buildings that developers are just trying to go the minimal route… This site could of easily been something around 50 stories…Funny how the city that used to have so much pride in its skyscrapers now has people complaining about building heights
