Like what? I'm not too familiar with their history

That would be fantastic, I thought that I read they wouldn't even begin the process until the renovation of Tribune Tower was complete which would last 3 years.

I'm not 100% sure, don't quote me on it but timeframes were mentioned in the article that revealed the 1,422' height bump.

I agree, they will be great additions to the city and 70' is not devastating by any means but when they had approval for the heights they proposed and scale them back it feels like a loss, especially with the 1,000' barrier they flirted with.

Only nerds like us actually care that much. To everyone else they're just new, tall buildings.

I believe it has been upped to 950' which if built will be very significant.

The new elevation showed it may possible be taller than that.
