Seeing as these will be some of the most expensive condo's in Chicago it seems the developers are doing everything they can to maximize the comfort for the buyers (i.e. multiple slosh tanks and blow-through floor).
Personally, I like it. It is the first of its kind for Chicago and I think will look attractive once complete.
There is always the
highly unlikely scenario the engineers realized something before it was too late and added it out of necessity like New York's Citicorp building. If this was the case I highly doubt it was as dramatic as the Citicorp situation but you never know.
