The problem is that this is literally 100 yds (I checked on google maps) from the Fordham tower. It would be like the old WTC...but taller, and not matching buildings.

Quickie visual with less emphasis on complete accuracy:

is there anyway you could manipulate the image so that the Tall Tower stood immediately south of the river from fordham spire? i would think that these two fanciful behemoths on opposite banks of the river mouth would create one hell of a gateway statement, like something out of ancient mythology. |

I guess I'm the only one that likes it. I'm not a fan of twisting towers, at all. Still, everyone's right about the location.

in that rendering showing the two of them, i think they look nice and balanced. theyre similar proportions. i do agree that it would be much better to have them on either sides of the mouth of the Chicago river. that would be an awsome gateway.

I've been waiting for this design since Steely first mentioned it a few years back. Back when it was clandestined information. :D
It is not disapointing. Looks more skyscraperish than telecom tower, which is good IMO. The location, from the quick rendering above, with Fordham, is actually awesome IMO. Kind of a King and Queen chessboard effect. Me want close-up renderings. |
I think HDTV likely will wind up in fordham plans.
conspiracy theory would point to the last line of the Trib story: "Beitler's partner, LR Development, also is co-owner of the site that developer Carley would buy for the Calatrava tower." |

I really like it. At first I did not like the location. Not completely sure if I still do. But it does give a gateway appearance. If they do not want it in Chicago, they could always put it in Minneapolis. ;)

Come home from a bad day and BAM! Another 2000 ft building.
|
These two towers, along with Trump and the others at or around 1,000 feet would definitely make Chicago's skyline the most impressive in the world. Dubai would have the tallest building and others that are tall, but Chicago would have six or seven supertalls.
|
I wonder what Trump has to say about THIS one.
|
If I read that article correctly, it looks like all the financing are already in place? Is that right?
So is this pretty much a for sure go? What are the hurdles? Oh yeah.... was it also mentioned when they want to break ground? We know Carley wants to break ground in Spring for the Fordham Spire.... what about Beitler with this Tower? |
