This is one of the renderings I like the most besides the TT and WT. I love how the top of the building glows at night!
IMO this building has "Chicago" written all over it! Tall, modern, strong, masculine...

This tower and Waterview Tower will work awesomely in the skyline together, I think.

Does anyone know the time table for this? It would be wicked if it was under construction while the other two river giants were on the way up... Either way when all three are up it will be sweet. Only one more lot to go (wolf point) and the canyon is complete.

I'm sure it will be UC while Trump and Waterview are still UC. The original article actually said something like groundbreaking in Spring of '06, didn't it? I wouldn't be too surprised if it did.

Yea I guess I since they have a lot of people commited to moving in to anchor it I wouldnt be too suprised. Thanks for the great info.

There's a pretty sizeable building requiring demolition for this project in addition to that hideous parking garage, right?

I'd be surprised if this thing is officially U/C before this fall, at the earliest. But it does appear to have a very good chance of being built, with a reputable lead tenant already signed on.

Agreed. To me, this building is an update of Daley plaza (one of my all time favorites).

Fabb · #**108** Posted **Jan 25, 2006, 5:28 PM**

It's a bigger version of Pelli's 181 W Madison - overlooked because of its bad location. This one will be much more prominent.

Steely Dan · #**109** Posted **Jan 25, 2006, 5:39 PM**

^ yeah, that's what i was thinking. this one is much more closely related to 181 w. madison than it is to the daley center. in fact, other than some general boxiness, i don't see a whole lot of similiarities between this 300 n lasalle proposal and the daley center (which is the greatest building in the world, btw).

Steely Dan · #**110** Posted **Jan 25, 2006, 10:01 PM**

yes, given the experience with 1 south dearborn, i fully expect to see some site activity no later than this summer.

Norsider · #**111** Posted **Jan 25, 2006, 10:26 PM**

What I want to know is this: what will be the building materials for the ghostly sheen that rises up above the structure?

the urban politician · #**112** Posted **Jan 25, 2006, 11:59 PM**

Ahhhh, another one to add to the World Almanac List!!

You can keep building cheesy highrise resorts, Miami, but here in Chicago we build serious corporate towers! TAKE THAT, MIAMI

I love some of these new smilies, by the way.....

Marvel 33 · #**113** Posted **Jan 26, 2006, 8:29 PM**

^ These ones are my favorites so far:

^ Agree! It doesn't make any sense at all!

Somebody @ SSC mentioned this building is at 809'. Can anyone confirm it?

spyguy · #**117** Posted **Feb 8, 2006, 3:35 AM**

One hell of a river this will be.

Well, richardshomebuyers is in the biz and saw the drawings himself. I think that's confirmation enough. Here's to another 800+ footer

jcchii · #**119** Posted **Feb 8, 2006, 4:57 AM**

I think it probably will be U/C with waterview and TTC. They seem to be on a speedy timetable.
And that parking deck seems flimsy

Ya, that's a for sure thing. The river tours are going to be insane. I can't wait to move there.
