Hopefully this starts soon. One of the best designs planned in Chicago at the moment. Hopefully the scrutiny isn't insane for this tower, as it can really alter the skyline for the better.
Do you Chicago guys think a 2020 start date (sometime in that year) is plausible?

In the end, its not about titles. Chicago's skyline is a work of art. Quality over quantity. Like an artist that fine-tunes a work of art, good art takes time and thats what Chicago has. You have some aspects in your skyline that I wish we had here. Believe me, the amount of garbage that NY puts out is high. Don't let the shiny super talls fool you, we put out a lot of garbage towers. Fortunately many of them are masked.
Tribune Tower is stunning. We have this proposal called Tower Fifth, which will stain the skyline. Maybe its good that Chicago somewhat scrutinizes skyline altering towers, because once you get over 1200 ft, any crap tower can really damage the skyline.
Although from what I'm reading, IDK why they would scrutinize Tribune. I mean, how much better do they want it to get lol. Let's get the shovels ready on this one!!!
