Four Seasons, one of the largest buildings there, has an uncanny resemblance to the lovechild of Grand Plaza and AMLI River North:

Agreed. I was thinking more in terms of the mid rise stuff going up around the city and neighborhoods. Milwaukee has a lot of building going on but it looks like they have one person designing everything. Charlotte is another with a ton of building going on with really bad/bland cookie cutter design.
