It's round!

spyguy Nov 4, 2005 5:07 AM

Yes it is. And maybe greenish-blue! It's a miracle, maybe we can finally get out of the "blues."

Is anyone else not seeing the new rendering? All I see is the old one with the open cut out feature.

Perhaps you need to clear your cache. Here it is again, on imageshack this time:

Always looking out for everybody, huh? I saw it fine though. I just wanted to say thank you for all your contributions on this site and SSC!

Wow that tower is just beautiful! :)

sentinel Nov 4, 2005 6:50 AM

yep, that's the problem some people are having. when i get new images for projects, i simply overwrite the old images, so that means that the image URLs remain the same, and if people have the old image file cached, then it will come up on their screen even though i have switched out the old image with the new one on the SSP server. simply pressing the refresh button should solve this problem most of the time.

Steely, are you sure BVic got that picture from the developer?

Yes dude. I got the rendering from the developer.

When he said "but maybe in the near future", he was talking about high-resolution images for the 2,000' tower in Streeterville.

back to the side structure... I bet it's a good portion of Canyon Ranch, as their program requires a 100% isolated interior... the most we'll ever see of it is a mini lobby with a single elevator door inside. Unless of course they build down, there's a lot of required private space that would fit right into the taller side structure.

Emporis has this building listed at a structural height of 730ft and a roof height of 720ft. Any further detail on this Victor, Shawn, Dan (Steely or Chicago), Tom. Is there a screen that extends 1ft above the mechanical penthouse on the roof? Should the title of the thread be altered to reflect this? Should the page 1 list of the Boom run down thread be changed to reflect this?

Now that's a gorgeous tower.

The glass crown on the top looks like it's about 10 ft. I vote we change the thread name to "CHICAGO: 65 East Huron - 730' offical/720' roof/64 floors".

HK Chicago Nov 15, 2005 2:01 AM

I'd assume the screen at the top hides a mechanical penthouse that's ~10' tall, if not taller... so the roof and structural height are probably the same height.

well, if emporis is now listing it as 730'/720', then i suppose i should change it here as well, for consistency's sake. thanks for picking up the discrepancy.

The 730' height is questionable at this time. It hasn't been determined yet. I asked my contact at LR sure, and they said that hasn't been finalized. When I can get more information I will post it here.

The zoning application also says 720' roof 730' to the top of the building.
