Y’all seen this ? I don’t buy their stories but you never know about these whispers.

How it accomplishes a 24% increase in places to lay one’s head from 764 to 949 is anyone’s guess, but the tally is independent from the conversion of the old Tribune Tower. Maybe it goes all-apartments, with ten on a floor. Maybe it goes all-hotel and bogarts the local hospitality market. Or maybe… dare we say… it gets taller? We have no idea. But it’s a fun mental exercise that should be taken with a metric buttload of salt.

If they're so close they should obviously just go for new tallest. As exciting as this article is, and the prospect of this happening and being even taller, I'm still only going to celebrate when we hear real news, or better yet when it's approved and U/C.

Good find though
