I always think to myself when I look at Brooklyn at how its 3rd behind Manhattan and Chicago lol

You're totally right. If you slashed Congress and split the two it would be top 10, maybe top 5 lol. I think the only problem is is still feels continuous and its hard to seperate parts of Chicago's skyline (unlike ny with Midtown, Lower Manhattan, Brooklyn, etc.)

Just makes our skyline all the more beautiful and cohesive

^Excellent shots. This tower adds a much needed contemporary jolt to the Michigan Ave streetwall, after being somewhat stagnant . Love it.

Atrium is unique and the infinity pool is sharp!

The core formwork and windscreens started coming down today and through this coming weekend. This one will be buttoned up before we know it!

Screen walls are almost all removed and the last of the slabs will be poured next week. The mechanical equipment for the penthouse goes up today.
