I’m not one that is disappointed in this tower - at all. I think it’s going to end up as a great piece of design, a very solid addition at its current planned height. However, for the more height-obsessed, if you’re looking for a reason to have a little hope that a small number of additional floors may be added:
1) It hasn’t been uncommon for new office towers in Chicago recently to add a few floors late in planning stages - or even after construction has commenced.
2) I think Salesforce’s lease accounts for somewhere in the roughly 45% range of the tower’s current planned total leaseable space. Recently, several new towers have had their anchor tenant account for something a bit lower - more on the order of 30-35% of total space
So, ya never know.
