Wow, Steely, nice shot. I'm blown away at how minuscule those workers look; really gives perspective.

Isn't that the way it's always been? I've only ever seen it this way: The upper triangular portion is on the SW side, and the Clark side only supports the parking podium.

such a small footprint it should really shoot up

As I recall the model was different.

That render seems mroe accurate.

I remember thinking 2 months ago, is the thing even gonna rise a floor in the near 6 months? Boy, I sure was wrong.

I tink the tower is now building it's regular floors now.

Model in sales office, this week, to my eye the Wacker columns should be square and bigger - cladding ?

Well remember guys, the model in the sales center is the 82-story version.

Things have changes a little in the last 2.5 years that the sales center has been open.

Taken Sept 17th ( id didn't count floors, they could have just put on new stickys )

As with the Spire and their renderings I am surprised they don't spend a few more bucks and get a good model built, hell could probably sell it for a profit, or donate it to the CAF and write off the cost.

^That model cost about $50,000 to build, so I doubt the developer would just trash it and build a new one. And I bet after the sale of the last unit, BVictor will be making a pitch to have that model donated to him

Whoa, they made some pretty big jumps this week on those front columns and the core.
4 down, 85 to go.

Dac150 · #**835** Posted **Sep 22, 2007, 6:31 PM**

89 total floors? Why not just make it 90?

Alliance · #**836** Posted **Sep 22, 2007, 6:39 PM**

Because its one more floor of condos to sell.

Not if there is no demand for more units or the cost to build that much heigher begins to cut into profits.

aluminum · #**840** Posted **Sep 23, 2007, 1:43 AM**

4 floors already ? Either I haven't visited this thread recently or the tower just SHOT UP !
