This area is becoming more Loop like by the day. The "vendor village" over by McDonalds HQ is already going to be like 200'+ and that's halfway done. The other H2O site and Bridgeford food site are also 20 story plus buildings. This area is going UP and that's the way it should go. IF Chicago lands Amazon, Google, and/or Apple or any other major corporate relocations (even from our own suburbs) we are going to need the space.

Hopefully if West Loop turns into River North 2.0 (which it probably will), hopefully it can be a more interesting place to hang out by then than River North.
