Yeah bingo-- maybe my favorite angle for this building. It's cool to see such a futuristic tower rising behind a 1905 brick warehouse and a park! Excited for them to finish cladding the NW corner

Such a stunning shot.
I’ve always wondered why Chicago doesn’t have more medium/large luxury cruise lines… then I remember that the lake depth is only around 20-30 feet for a good 500 feet from the lakeshore :/

Looks like the wind played a little havoc with the site today. I hope everyone is ok.

Osha doesn't have a 'Line 5' anymore. Call your represenative.

Besides, 80+ mile an hour winds will blow stuff.

Looks like the crane will be coming down very soon. A small mobile crane is on site.

Wow, fantastic. And the skyline still isn't even in full view here. What a monster of a city Chicago is even if building has slowed down significantly.

ajbeaver25 · #**3335** Posted **Yesterday, 5:04 AM**

Wow this tower is actually really slick

Nice shots from Mr Butler, as always.

OT: The Navy Pier marina is a great addition. Glad they finally got it sorted out.

like how 400 DLSD blocks out Trump Tower from this angle.

he posted a slightly different angle:

^ Beautiful pic. Such an eye-catching peak in the skyline from the lake / pier, mostly because of those setbacks. In a city with such a diverse range of tower designs, it's exciting to get a new shape-- from this angle it looks a bit like the Shanghai World Financial Center, minus the handle at the top lol.
