I had not been following this thread but became much more interested after spending last weekend in Chicago. In fact I walked by a big sign advertising 1000M that said: "EXTRAORDINARY MICHIGAN AVENUE CONDOMINIUM RESIDENCES...Please visit our Sales Gallery at 1006 South Michigan Avenue..." I had been disappointed that all the recently completed tall residential buildings in Chicago only had apartments for rent, so I was rather excited by this condo building. (Yes, I do fancy owning a condo in Chicago someday.)

I too think it doesn't look bad, but more importantly, having a building -- pretty much any building -- this tall in this neighborhood would benefit the skyline a great deal.

I would actually like the relative peace and quiet.

Hopefully there will soon be a residential skyscraper in this area with condos below half a million dollars. That should attract more people to move there.
