To me, this site now makes better economic sense as a supertall that breaks out above the 800' plateau. I wonder if they'll consider this, or forge ahead as essentially infill. 750' infill, but yeah.
Edit: I'm going to throw this out there. THIS would make an awesome casino site. With a tapering supertall above. It's got location.

What Tishman Speyer should do here - I think I may have mentioned before - is pull the tower to the northern edge of the site. I think this would provide the best views in aggregate and specifically provide better westward views - for at least the northern half-or-so of the repositioned tower.
I think that I recently read they have a brand new head of development for Chicago.....so maybe if they reassess a little, they’ll come to this conclusion as well.
