it's a concept as of now needs to go before planning and everything. if there's any life to this proposal, it's several years off. Quote:
this tower would stick up at least 200' above 77 W. Wacker. also, I believe that the lower floors of this building were to be a hotel, so views aren't as important. |

I figured that it was just a concept as of now. I hope they really push forward for this one...I think it would sell really well and it is just such a good concept! As for the location I dont think the big problem would be that it would be hiden at the top...it will be the tallest out of the surrounding buildings other than Waterview! |
I love the design of this building, but I hate the location... Anything on Lake should have a buffer to the sound the L makes. I'm on the 21st floor of 200 N LaSalle, and I hear the L trains all day, every day.
Couple the noise, with the fact that the L tracks will "hide" the atrium, and I'm not a fan at all. The building is gorgeous, and I'd love to see more residential units in the Loop, but something needs to be addressed with regard to the L. |

Also is there anyway you could add River Point to the second phote you posted? I think the picture would look really awesome seeing that added! |
How did you get those models on Google Earth, is there a place where I can download them?

http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehou...=ryan81&styp=m I didn't put trump on there because I never completed the base. I didn't want to put anything up that wasn't complete. I will probably get this conservatory tower up tomorrow. It's pretty quick and dirty, but does the trick |
wow, great images ryan81!
i have a feeling this project is a bit pie in the sky at the moment, but it was still fun to see your images and day dream. |
Great job, Ryan81. Thanks! :cheers:

That does make a pretty cool cluster. Someday.

Too bad that twin to Title & Trust was never built—then you'd really have something. I guess we could hope for something even taller on that lot though. There is always Hope.

As for the noise, it comes with the territory. I live right next to the el (although not downtown) and I don't even notice it anymore. Personally I think the juxtaposition of the el beams and rounded glass forms would look fantastic. |

The irony in the wonderful rendering above is the inclusion of the completed Waterview Tower, now on hold, and in need of 350-million dollars or thereabouts.
I have a bad feeling that we're not going to see this or any of the proposed towers going up for a long time to come. The Chicago market has to absorb the 40-50 towers that are now under construction. I hate to be the buzzkill, but really, the Chicago market hasn't yet to see the worst of it. |
Does anyone know if there is still life left in this project?
|
I wish. It was one of the most promising proposals from the past boom. I really hope it does still have a pulse so I don't have to add it to my lament list.

reminds me of Lebiskind's NY proposal on Madison avenue
