This entire post sums up exactly my thoughts on Chicago's current development.
that 4th peak would take this skyline to the next level. Burn down the Jewel at roosevelt and wabash, and build a 1300+ footer.
south loop is definitely starting to prep for a supertall at that intersection. Also, the pyramid effect looking southwest from grant park would be amazing. With essex and 1000 S Michigan building it from the north, the grant/OGP from the east.
South loop boom is absolutely unreal right now. feels wishful to think a supertall on top of it all could happen :/
