CHICAGO | Wolf Point - West Tower | 493 FT | 48 FLOORS

[Chicago_Forever]

I was at the meeting from start to the begining of the Q&A.

I didn't hear anything about these being massing models.

I heard the west tower (residential) is designed by BLK/Meggelan which lead me the believe Cesar Pelli is in charge of designing the other two towers.
The west tower is phase one and will include 510 apartments and 200 parking spaces.

Phase two is the 950ft commercial tower, I didn't hear the amount of parking it will include.

Finally, phase 3, the eastern tower will rise to 750ft and also incldude 200 parking spaces, I'm not sure of its use though.

Parking will be underground sort of like a millennium park deck type of thing so there won't be any parking podiums.


The NIMBY crowd was present and they voiced their usually stupid, selfish concerns.
The first 3 questions were about traffic and zoning issues. The 4th question was "why build 3 very tall towers, why not build one large, short box? That's when I decided I'd had enough and left. Even the elevator chatter was pretty hilarious as these two women were discussing how this project will drastically ruin their lives, lol.
