Chicago is reshaping its skyline.
Construction begins this year on Vista Tower, a condominium-hotel project that, when finished, will stand over 1,100 feet—making it the Windy City’s third-tallest building. The building, a joint project between Chicago-based Magellan Development and China-based real-estate giant Dalian Wanda Group, will cost more than $900 million and is scheduled for completion in 2020. Here are some early details about the building’s design and construction.
