^^^ Definitely TO, no question about it.

Don't we usually change the titles when this happens?

^^^Nobody's had to think about it before, because this is the first building of the boom to top out that has it's own thread.

It's now the tallest building built in the city in 8 years.
(Trump has now passed it, but I'm not counting it for this).

Photomerge is a lot of fun. Still learning, though.

I look forward to when OMPW is topped out as it will compliment the crown of OMP as well as give us a sturdy idea of what the street wall will mean from different perspectives around the city.

I drove to the auto show yesterday, and this building has a HUGE impact on the southern part of the skyline. It looks much bigger than I would have expected out of 730+ feet. I love this building, and hopefully it leads to more big ones outside of the main area of Chicago.

Just an aside, but who designed that orange Chicago Fire Department building?

I really love this building and it sure does bring the skyline further south and I am sure that it will spur the developement of many more highrises in that area.

Loebl, Schlossman, and Bennett - 1960. Dick Bennett was the lead architect, I believe.
