So much less powerful of a presence than the first design. At least we get something but from those last pictures doesnt look nearly tall enough

Damn, I looked at the title and thought 1000 meters at first. Got me all excited for nothing.

Its a nice design. Good height for the area.

tall

especially when you think about the mark essex has made at a lower height

I don't think the pics do the skyline any justice with it looking so stumpy!

If there was only a way to elongate them, hmmmmmm

That will look huge in this location considering how big Essex looks. Hope it goes!

The title says "1000M" then "832 ft".

??? :shrug:

That's the name of the tower which is at 1000 S Michigan. No one in the US uses meters so "1000M" literally means nothing of substance to any normal American

I stretched the image a bit. Kind of difficult to know if I did too much or not enough. The image is at a pretty funky angle.

Much better, kudos to you sir!

gebs Jun 20, 2018 8:11 PM

Yeah, that looks pretty good. It was an angled picture of what I think was a curved projection ... of an already-distorted image. So yeah, we were starting with the fourth Michael Keaton from Multiplicity from the get-go.

(... does anyone else get that reference? It's fine. I'm fine.)

1000 meters would be well over twice the height of the Sears Tower. :haha:

This now looks like an average condo tower in Miami. Its been so watered down from the original design that I wish they could just start over. I never say this but on this one I hope it doesnt make it and we get something better next cycle. Michigan Avenue is just to important.

Hah! I haven't thought of that movie in years. I totally thought it starred Tom Hanks though. My memory was way off.

Seeing a lot of advertising of 1000M I wonder if it is selling ?

Apparently its selling pretty well. Here is a somewhat recent-ish article about it:

I walked be the sales center recently and was disappointed to see that it was closed and open by appointment only. :/

In other news, kinda cool to see the original design (sort of) live-on in Miami: http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...=217447&page=2

Yeah. Construction is picking up in Miami on that tower

Notyrview Aug 17, 2018 8:32 PM

I messaged them and they were real cagey about it so sales probably not so great

Yeah, none of that sounds good...

Damn, that looks pretty cool, even for a Miami tower. It's a bit different from the original 1000M proposal, but I like it none the less. I would definitely prefer an iteration such as that in place of the current somewhat weirdly proportioned tower that we will (maybe) be getting.

I would love for this building to get built. The south part of the skyline needs a thick bulky skyscraper! Essex and NEMA are thin.
