Jeanne Gang tower???

This plan seems pretty advance, funding won't be an issue, as long as there are no road-blocks.

Better article of the Wanda Group hotel project.

It would really be something to have a pair of supertalls guarding the mouth of the Chicago River, if this and the Spire get built.

Was this article written in another language and translated by a machine? And tallest building in Chicago at 350 meters? Did sears tower fall down?

this is great, but i hope it doesn't hurt the spire's ability to get funding, I know spire will be condo's, but Related did have interest in building some apts in the spire

Gang designed that?...

A 6 story increase from May.

This seems more likely than a supertall Spire. Hope this news is true.

J_M_Tungsten · #14 Posted **Jul 9, 2014, 2:20 AM**

At 350m, that would make this the third tallest building in Chicago. And the John Hancock would be fifth!

dont' really like it, honestly feel i would rather have a box than this one, it just looks like 3 buildings stacked next to each other....maybe if the tallest section was in the middle it would seem more unified

munchymunch · #17 Posted **Jul 9, 2014, 2:37 AM**

Like the height, ok design

Chicago_Forever · #18 Posted **Jul 9, 2014, 2:39 AM**

Sorry but I'm just not feelin it.

^^ If the corners had balconies - 1/2 with the walls receding behind you, and 1/2 with the corner looming over your head.

Confimed by a more mainstream source:

I'm even suprised how accurate my sketch was:
