(Yes, I do fancy owning a condo in Chicago someday.)
I too think it doesn't look bad, but more importantly, having a building -- pretty much any building -- this tall in this neighborhood would benefit the skyline a great deal.
I would actually like the relative peace and quiet.
Hopefully there will soon be a residential skyscraper in this area with condos below half a million dollars. That should attract more people to move there.

Condos at that price point haven't seemed to be within any developer's mind this entire cycle(for a skyscraper anyhow). Apartments are just the go to for anyone not making the proverbial "f-you money".
I'd love to see it, but highly doubt it will for a long long time
