Well, that might be a little much for him! But, he has repeated said he wants chicago to have a skyline that will "knock your socks" off and he supports the rezoning of GP4 to allow them to build taller with no increase in units. For that site, i just don't see who could muster any fight against this project. Are the vetro people going to oppose this? It is kind of between printers row/south loop and the west loop so no one really knows who should be opposing the project! The site is 3-4 blocks away from the world's largest financial exchange, a little height seems appropriate. The site wins zoning for lack of an opposition.
Wasn't rezko part of a real estate deal in this area?
