So I've seen early renderings of this thing a few months back. I'm sure the design has evolved since what I saw, but it didn't have a spire. I would qualify it under the skinny skyscraper trend mentioned. It definitely doesn't look like what's on that Chicago Architecture.org site. I'd also say the top is a glassy modern nod to the neighboring tribune crown. Again, the design may have changed completely from when I last saw it.
