I may be exaggerating but the BMO site looks to be about twice the area of 130 N Franklin, it's a pretty fat tower.
I think 1.5 MSF would normally be a lot taller than that.

It's important to remember that Chicago hasn't built an office tower with a roof height north of 1,000' since 1974.

Sure, but there's a first (or second) time for everything. Vista and OSC are among the tallest roofs in the city and were just completed. Maybe this trend can shift to offices too.
