Definitely looks a little funky from those views ^. Hopefully whoever buys the nema 2 site goes tall and we get some height along wabash as well. Lookin like atlanta or philly with all that space in between. I think we've all dreamed of an 800 footer at the BP and Jewel sites as well.

The more glass goes up the more I like how the building looks from the NNE personally. I like the curved look of the NW corner especially from far away. And since there's nothing blocking the view of the building you can see how it gradually transforms from the lower to higher floors.

I think a few 500 to 600 foot tall buildings would be better to fill in the area because filling in with taller structures will reduce the residential appeal.
The openness for light and air needs to be safeguarded. A mini-Loop would seem too brutal. I would also like something with some darker lines to contrast and complement the now-prevalent reflective finishes. A more reserved "Brooklyn tower" sort of uniqueness could add some depth. |

Great shot, Steely. That glass is so clean that at first glance, it looked like a computer generated rendering! :haha:

That might be the best angle of it. It looks beautiful.

I love how the skyline of the South Loop is finally enveloping and bookending Grant Park to provide better symmetry along Congress Parkway the way Daniel Burnham envisioned it when he was laying out his City Beautiful plans for the city. Now if only Ida B Wells Drive itself could be upgraded to a proper lively corridor instead of the car sewer/access road for the Loop that it currently is today to really help harmonize the two halves of the Loop.

Now if we could remove (or at least narrow) Columbus between Roosevelt and Monroe/Randolph.
