^ I agree... why is light not allowed on the blow-through floors, but it is allowed at the tops of towers? Seems like a stupid rule

They're probably going for the solid building effect

I like the lights on 432 Park Ave's openings though at night...

I'm pretty sure it's city regulation preventing them from lighting it. Which is good, because it means Chicagoans will be able to change that if enough of us care about it (probably not)

We have a lot of regulations related to bird migration. Going full bladerunner is desirable, but not the best idea.

Bummer... but I like our winged friends enough to not complain too much

Vista looks as tall as tRUMP tower already and OBP looks good from this distance!

Sweet pics Baron

I like that on any given day the Trump Tower can look medium blue or a shiny white silver.

Are my eyes playing tricks on me, or is that photo so perfectly timed that the shadow of Vista is on Trump?

Looks like it! Very cool.

Vista is really claiming its place in the skyline!

That's the reflection of Vista.

Just imagine what Vista would look like if it had glass on it...

phanta721 · #**5057** Posted **Dec 18, 2018, 5:25 PM**

blow-through

gandalf612 · #**5058** Posted **Dec 18, 2018, 7:31 PM**

Took advantage of the really clear sky to snap this pic from the Cortland St. bridge on the way to work. Can't wait for the glass to creep its way into view.

Vlajos · #**5059** Posted **Dec 18, 2018, 9:24 PM**

^ very nice

I was crossing the Wilson Avenue bridge just west of western the other day and you can see Vista from there. It's amazing.

The Lurker · #**5060** Posted **Dec 18, 2018, 9:29 PM**

Seems like the top section is going to be significantly taller than the middle section
