Maybe it just needs time to settle into its skin and start to show age like the rest of the city, but I think having a diverse range of building styles and public spaces would integrate these Chicago developments into their respective surroundings, like an LSE situation.

I've been working at/near Hudson Yards since late 2015. It's not a playground right now for anybody, nor will it ever become one. Although there's a lot of construction going on, it is a boring area that not many people want to actually live in. Even when some of these things up open up, it won't matter too much. It'll serve us office workers, but not too much outside of that and the tourists who go to the High Line.
