CHICAGO | 680 North Rush | 752 FT / 229 M | 64 FLOORS | NEVER BUILT
yet another 700+ foot proposal for the windy city:

Well, it has been proposed for a long time. But it looks to be more a reality now that Canyon Ranch signed on.
|
I really wish they would have kept the hole intact, but it's still a fine looking building, and a great addition to the Chicago skyline.
|
Don't you think it would be better to post the correct rendering? I thought the architects 86'ed the opening near the top. But, regardless, she's a beauty.
|
^ uhhh, i did post the correct rendering dude, it's the same one that victor just got from the developer minutes ago.
|
Wow, that's great! 720' is the same height of One Museum Park in the Central Station development. I always loved the design of this building, simple but very unique and sleek.
I can't get over all the great news we're getting for Chicago! |
Is the building perfectly elliptical or is the west side angular?
|
Let's hope it is completely round, but that's a question I've wondered too.
|
It's good... what's with the apparently blank white wall on the right, though? "Textured" concrete? Probably the parking garage...
|
It's been all the renderings so far, if I remember correctly. Except this time it has this weird yellow front side.
|
That's a really nice tower. Chicago is doing great!
|
The KeyHole reminds me of a skyscraper in Dallas that stores its automatic window washing machine inside the keyhole... hidden away from view. Granted... that skyscraper in Dallas is hideous. I wonder if the developers will do the same thing here.
|
^ well, the "key-hole" feature has now been plugged, as evidenced by the rendering at the top of the page, and given that this looks like a flat-roofed building, i would imagine that any window washing equipment will simply be kept up there.
|
"I don't have any images to send you at this time, but maybe in the near future."
Steely, are you sure BVic got that picture from the developer? |
^ yes. the part of victor's post you quoted was about the beitler telecom tower, not 65 east huron.
|
So is 500 LSD just...gone? If we're going to lose that we deserve to at least see a good rendering of what we're [potentially] losing.

One major improvement is the extra "floor" at the crown... while it won't be as striking as the 2 "floors" on 111 S Wacker, I really like this detail as it gives the tower a proper crown w/o breaking the vertical pattern. |
That is a nice sharp looking tower.
|
Given that it's a quarter-block lot, I wonder if the square thing isn't a car elevator? Although that feature was blamed for slow sales at the Riverbend...
|
almost any version of that design would be a breath of fresh air in that area
